The identification of commercial piggeries within study areas in the Goulburn-Murray Irrigation District in Victoria, Australia, is used to demonstrate the innovative application of object-based image analysis (OBIA) techniques for the identification of intensive animal production land uses, to improve the accuracy of existing datasets.


 These criteria were applied to recent aerial photography that had been classified using OBIA techniques.  The OBIA technique identified 21 potential piggery locations across three study areas, 14 of which were identified in existing databases.  The OBIA approach has potential of OBIA for identifying the locations of commercial piggeries.
