1. A method, comprising:
- identifying, using a processor, a first geographic area to be sampled for a first product, the identifying being based on an aerial image;
estimating, using the processor, a density of the first product in the first geographic area; and
calculating, using the processor, a sampling rule to be used in sampling the first geographic area for the first product.

14. An apparatus, comprising:
-
a patch identifier to select a first geographic area to be sampled for a first product, the selection being based on an aerial image; a prey density estimator to estimate a density of the first product in the first geographic area; and a sampling rule generator to generate a sampling rule to be used in sampling the first geographic area for the first product. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A tangible computer readable storage medium comprising computer readable instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to at least:
-
identify a first geographic area to be sampled for a first product, the identifying being based on an aerial image; estimate a density of the first product in the first geographic area; and calculate a sampling rule to be used in sampling the first geographic area for the first product. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)
