FIESTA - Photo-Based Module
Photo-based (PB) module overview
FIESTA’s Photo-Based (PB) module calculates population
estimates and associated sampling errors based on Patterson (2012). In
contrast to FIA’s traditional green-book estimators which were
constructed based on the finite sampling paradigm using sample plots
with distinct area, the photo-based estimators were constructed based on
the context of the infinite sampling paradigm, along with the concept of
a support region. The sample is the set of plot centers and the
information from the support region (the photo plot) are assigned to the
plot centers. The photo interpreted points are used as a sample of the
support region and the observations are used to estimate the information
from the support region. FIESTA includes non-ratio
estimators for area and percent cover estimates by domain, and
ratio-of-means estimators for area and percent cover estimates within
domain, and supports post-stratification for reducing variance.
Objective of tutorial
The main objective of this tutorial is to demonstrate how to use
FIESTA for generating photo-based estimates, supplementary
to FIA’s traditional estimates, using estimators from Patterson (2012).
For information on FIESTA parameters or population data,
please see the FIESTA_manual_mod_est and
FIESTA_manual_mod_pop vignettes. The structure of this
vignette is as follows:
Output values from FIESTA Photo-Based module
Estimates with percent sampling error for the row domain (and column
domain) specified by the input parameters. This can be in the form of
one table or two separate tables, depending on the number of domains and
on allin1 parameter specified through the
table_opts parameter.
FIESTA returns a list object with one or more of the
following components. If savedata = TRUE, all output data
frames are written to the specified outfolder.
- $est - Data frame with estimates by
rowvar,colvar(and estimation unit). Ifsumunits = TRUEor one estimation unit andcolvar = NULL, estimates and percent sampling error are all in est. - $pse - Data frame with percent sampling errors corresponding to est.
- $titlelst - If
returntitle = TRUE, a list with one or two titles for est and pse, depending on number of output data frames. - $raw - If
rawdata = TRUE, a list of raw data used in the estimation process.

PB Functions and Examples
The examples following use data from the Image-Based Change Estimation (ICE) project, from two counties, or Estimation Units (ESTN_UNIT) in the state of Utah: Davis (11); Salt Lake (35).
The ICE project is an image-based inventory across FIA plots designed
to supplement the FIA field-based inventory for monitoring land use and
land cover change at a more timely interval than the current FIA
reporting timeframe. Observations are made at two points in time across
all FIA plots and point-level interpretations are made within an acre
support region from plot center. Attributes of land use, land cover,
change, and agent of change are recorded at each point. The dataset
includes plot-level and point-level data for each plot in the sample.
The following tutorial uses a subset of ICE data to demonstrate how to
generate estimates from the modPB() function.

Set up
First, you’ll need to load the FIESTA library:
Next, you’ll need to set up an “outfolder”. This is just a file path
to a folder where you’d like FIESTA to send your data
output. For our purposes in this vignette, we have saved our outfolder
file path as the outfolder object in a temporary directory.
We also set a few default options preferred for this vignette.
Get data for examples
View Getting Data
Now that we’ve loaded FIESTA and setup our outfolder, we
can retrieve the data needed to run the examples. First, we point to
some external data stored in FIESTA and import into R.

The following examples are set up into two sections as follows
where modPBpop() contains an example which sets up the data for estimation in modPB().
modPBpop()
FIESTA’s population functions (mod*pop)
check input data and perform population-level calculations, such as:
summing number of sampled plots and standardizing auxiliary data. These
functions are specific to each FIESTA module and are run
prior to or within a module for any population of interest.
Population Example 1: Population Data for estimation of percent of land cover at Time 1 (2011)
These population data are used in: Example 1.
View Example
For FIESTA’s PB Module, the modPBpop()
function calculates and outputs: number of plots by strata. The output
from modPBpop() can be used for one or more estimates from
modPB(). Here, we set up our population data for the
following examples. We simply supply a few key arguments and we have our
population data:
# Percent land cover at Time 1 (2011) for all land in Davis and Salt Lake Counties, UT

Here we create population data in order to estimate area, in acres, of land cover at Time 1 (2011) for all land in Davis and Salt Lake Counties, Utah.
First, since we want to get estimates for the total population, let’s sum the area for both counties.

In the example which uses this population data we will generate estimates of percent land cover change from vegetated to non-vegetated for all land in Davis and Salt Lake Counties, Utah. This transition was recorded in the initial dataset (i.e., Veg.NonVeg). Again, we need to create a new population dataset defining this column of interest.
Population Example 5: Population data with post-stratification for transition estimates
These population data are used in Example 10.
View Example
Our final population dataset for this vignette adds post-stratification for transition estimates.
Let’s add post-stratification to our transition estimates from Time 1 to Time 2. Again, we need to create a new population dataset with information for post-stratification, including strata pixel counts and plot-level strata assignments. This information is provided with FIESTA’s external data.

Example 1: Point-level data - Totals
View Example
In this example, we look at estimating the percent land cover at Time 1 (2011) and land cover at Time 2 (2014) for all land in Davis and Salt Lake Counties, Utah. We will then compare the net change from Time 1 and Time 2. We use population data from Population Example 1.
We first estimate the percent land cover at Time 1 (2011) for all land in Davis and Salt Lake Counties, Utah. We will add a lookup table for the rows to get row names. Adding row.add0=TRUE in table_opts list assures that all categories in rowlut are included in the result. We can also add a pretty name to the output names.
cover1 <- modPB(PBpopdat = PBpopdat,
rowvar = "cover_1",
table_opts = list(rowlut = icecover_1,
row.add0 = TRUE),
title_opts = list(title.rowvar = "Land Cover (2011)"))We can look at the structure of this output with str.

In this example, we generate estimates by each estimation unit (i.e,
County). We have created the necessary population data with a call to
modPBpop() in Population Example 3.
Since we have taken care of our population data, let’s start with area, in acres, of land cover at Time 1 (2011) by County for all land in Davis and Salt Lake Counties, UT

View Example
In this example, we look at the transition data at the point level, giving an estimate of what each category transitioned to. Let’s look at a table of the percent land cover at Time 1 (2011) by percent land cover at Time 2 (2014) for all and in Davis and Salt Lake Counties, Utah. Here, we use the PBpoparea population dataset from Population Example 2 as the population dataset.

First, a quick diversion into creating a new population dataset.
First, we merge the point-level data with each lookup table to get class
names, then concatenate the Time 1 and Time 2 named columns. Let’s make
a copy of the population data and add the new category directly to the
PBx data frame (PBpoparea$PBx) so we don’t have to recreate
the population data.

View Example
In this example, we look at within category estimates, as the estimate proportion of one category within the estimated proportion of another category. Let’s first look at the proportion of land cover at Time 1 (2011) within land that changed in Davis and Salt Lake Counties, Utah. Here, we use the PBpoparea population dataset from Population Example 2 as the population dataset.
First, we create a lookup table for the points defining changed land
changelut <- data.frame(change_1_2=c(0,1,2),
change_1_2nm=c("No Change", "Change", "Expected Change"))

## change_1_2 change_1_2nm
## 1 0 No Change
## 2 1 Change
## 3 2 Expected ChangeNow, using the PBpoparea population for both counties,
let’s get our ratio estimate.

Now, let’s get area estimates of land cover at Time 1 (2011) for all
land in Davis and Salt Lake Counties, Utah by adding
tabtype = "AREA" to the modPB() call.
pltpct11.area <- modPB(PBpopdat = PBpctpop11,
tabtype = "AREA",
returntitle = TRUE)
pltpct11.area$estoutput

land in Davis and Salt Lake Counties, Utah by adding
tabtype = "AREA".
pltpct14.area <- modPB(PBpopdat = PBpctpop14,
tabtype = "AREA",

## 5 Tree14 164323.6 14.52
## 6 Water14 159052 18.71Again, we can look at other population data that we created in Population Example 4. Let’s also look at transitions.
In this example we will generate estimates of percent land cover change
from vegetated to non-vegetated for all land in Davis and Salt Lake
Counties, Utah by using the PBpctpop.veg object as our
population dataset. This transition was recorded in the initial dataset
(i.e., Veg.NonVeg).
Then, get estimates. We can add a title in the title_opts parameter to help describe the estimate.
pltpct.veg <- modPB(PBpopdat = PBpctpop.veg,
title_opts = list(title.rowvar = "Veg to NonVeg transition"),
returntitle = TRUE)
pltpct.veg$estoutput
## Veg to NonVeg transition Estimate Percent Sampling Error

View Example
This example shows how we can add post-stratification to reduce the variance (i.e, increase precision) in the estimates. The population data for this example were created in Population Example 5.
Now, we can produce the estimates.
cover12ps <- modPB(PBpopdat = PBpopareaPS,
rowvar = "cover_1",
colvar = "cover_2",
nonsamp.pntfilter = "cover_1 != 999",
table_opts = list(rowlut = icecover_1,
collut = icecover_2),
title_opts = list(title.rowvar = "Land Cover"))Let’s again get estimates without strata. Again, we use (different) population data that were created in Population Example 5.
cover12 <- modPB(PBpopdat = PBpoparea_nonPS,
rowvar = "cover_1",
colvar = "cover_2",
nonsamp.pntfilter = "cover_1 != 999",
table_opts = list(rowlut = icecover_1,
collut = icecover_2),
title_opts = list(title.rowvar = "Land Cover"))Finally, let’s compare estimates.
