| Abstract | During the summer of 1981, the Canada Centre for Remote Sensing participated in a commercial Telidon project in southwestern Manitoba. In this project, (called 'GRASSROOTS') CCRS provided thamatic
images showing agricultural land use derived from LANDSAT data for offices, grain elevator office and in the homes of private farmers. Remote sensing information on estimated acreages of rapeseed and fallow fields were transmitted along with current
weather maps and commodity prices. Early user experiences indicate that low cost Canadian videotex technology may be feasible tool for disseminating text and graphic information to improve decision-making and productivity in the primary and resource
industry sectors. |
