The Riparian Buffer Mapper (RBMapper) software package has been developed by GDA Corp. with support from the Chesapeake Bay Program Office (CBPO) – USGS and CBPO – USDA Forest Service.

The current version of the RBMapper is a working prototype of a highly automated GIS expert system for riparian buffer delineation and land cover mapping with high resolution imagery (HRI). The system requires very limited user training and fulfills the need for specialized GIS tools to improve the accuracy of riparian buffer delineation and inventory and to simplify the analysis of HRI.
