Impact/Purpose:

This system accurately documents the aerial flight patterns and positions of CAFO or other facilities of interest from aerial overflights by use of a GPS receiver in conjunction with a lap top computer.

Description:

As part of the targeting process for CAFO (Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation) inspections it is necessary to perform aerial overflights to document potential violators. To accurately document these flight patterns and facility locations, a system was developed and used incorporating a GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver in conjunction with a lap top computer and appropriate software. There is also the potential to integrate aerial photographs with the GPS generated locational data.
