Imagery data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Friendship Hill National Historic Site

This reference contains the imagery data used in the completion of the baseline vegetation inventory project for the NPS park unit.  Orthophotos, raw imagery, and scanned aerial photos are common files held here.

Color infrared, stereo pair 1:6,000 scale aerial photography for a digital orthophoto mosaic of Friendship Hill National Historic Site was acquired from an overflight on April 13, 2003, during leaf-off conditions, by Kucera International. Some of the photography was overexposed and, at the request of the National Park Service (NPS), Kucera International scanned the photos at 1200 dpi and color balanced and adjusted them. The NPS accepted these scanned images and sent them to North Carolina State University (NCSU) along with the original air photos. Upon receipt at NCSU, both the air photos and image files were counted to make sure that none were missing and placed in the air photo archive maintained at NCSU for the NPS Northeast Region Inventory & Monitoring Program. The airborne GPS/IMU files, the camera calibration certificate provided by Kucera International, and the hardcopy flight report for the photography that crosswalks the airborne GPS/IMU data to the photo frame numbers are also stored in the air photo archive.

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 2006-2007 orthophotos were determined to be the most current and detailed imagery available. The imagery used in this project was a small extract from a collection of natural color GeoTIFF orthophotos that cover the islands of Puerto Rico, Culebra, Vieques, St. Thomas, St. John, and St. Croix. An orthophoto is remotely sensed image data in which displacement of features in the image caused by terrain relief and sensor orientation have been mathematically removed. Orthophotography combines the image characteristics of a photograph with the geometric qualities of a map. The source imagery was obtained from November 2006 through March 2007 and used to produce orthophotos with a one foot ground sample distance (GSD). Imagery was acquired at 0.9 foot GSD resolution. Flight height maintained during mission was 8,650 feet above ground level (AGL). The imagery was capturedat 12-bit radiometric resolution and converted to 8-bit radiometric resolution during post processing. The imagery was captured with 30% side lap between all adjacent flight lines. The imagery was obtained and processed by all digital means beginning with data acquisition using an ADS40 digital sensor. The orthophotos are available in GeoTIFF form. The original projected coordinate system was State Plane Puerto Rico / US Virgin Islands (Zone 5200), NAD 83, GRS 80, Units Meters. These orthophotos were originally collected for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

In late May 2007 using an airborne, Leica ADS40 digital sensor that collected multi-spectral (4-band), 12 bit data at a 1-meter resolution. After receiving the 2007 imagery, CTI worked with Furgo Horizons to mosaic, sharpen, edge-match and color balance the final imagery. This process helped remove unwanted sensor lines, improve the rectification, and produce a more visually appealing product. The final result were three products currently stored at the UCBN offices in Moscow, ID. They included a 4-band 8-bit mosaic, a 4-band 12-bit mosaic, and individual 4-band 12-bit tiles

The SCPN acquired new stereo aerial photography of PEFO through the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Aerial Photography Field Office (APFO). APFO subcontractor Photo Flight Geomatics, of Tucson, Arizona, acquired the imagery on September 13, 14, 17, and 19 of 2003; an additional flight was made on June 17, 2004 to cover areas that were missed in 2003. The imagery was taken in true color film at a scale of 1:6,000, with 20–40% sidelap and 50–60% overlap. The APFO provided two sets of 9 × 9-in contact prints to the SCPN. The NAU and NPS mapping team used the images for reference during polygon delineation and labeling. Upon project completion, one set of contact prints will reside at PEFO and one at the SCPN.

Imagery data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Shenandoah National Park

This reference contains the imagery data used in the completion of the baseline vegetation inventory project for the NPS park unit.  Orthophotos, raw imagery, and scanned aerial photos are common files held here.

Hyperspectral images from NASA’s AVIRIS platform were acquired for this research. Two high altitude AVIRIS images were collected from NASA ER-2 aircraft, one on 14 May 2000 and another on 13 July 2001. High altitude AVIRIS pixels have approximately 17 m spatial resolution and 224 bands at 10 nm intervals between 400-2500 nm. In addition to hyperspectral imagery, a time-series of Landsat TM images from five dates was also used to test the ability of multi-temporal Landsat data to map forest associations. The results of this analysis would be used to fill in small portions of Shenandoah National Park that were not covered by AVIRIS image data. The time-series included three early spring images: 12 April 1984, 26 May 2000, and 24 May 2002, and two early fall images: 19 September 1984 and 5 September 2002.

Natural color imagery was acquired for FOBU on July 21, 2004 and processed into 1:12,000-scale hardcopy prints. The 9-x 9-inch photographs were sent to the USGS, scanned at 1000 dots per inch, and mosaicked into a seamless one-meter digital image orthorectified using a 10 m digital elevation model. NAIP imagery was also obtained as an ancillary dataset for the project area. This imagery was one-meter color-infrared data flown during 2006.

Photointerpreters delineated initial polygons through manual interpretation of 2003/2004 1:12,000-scale true color aerial photography supplemented by occasional computer screen digitizing on a mosaic of digitized aerial photos. These polygons were labeled with base map classes during photointerpretation. Field visits verified interpretation concepts.

Imagery data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore

This reference contains the imagery data used in the completion of the baseline vegetation inventory project for the NPS park unit.  Orthophotos, raw imagery, and scanned aerial photos are common files held here.

Sixty-seven map classes were developed to map the vegetation and general land cover of INDU and environs, with 56 of them representing vegetation types at various levels in the NVC (association, alliance, and formation). The other 11 map classes depict general land cover; 4 representing non-vegetated land cover and 7 representing developed areas. Features were interpreted using high-quality stereoscopes over light tables and 1:12,000-scale color infrared (CIR) aerial photographs dated October 2004 (fall leaf-change). Polygon units were mapped to 0.5 ha (1.25 acres) minimum mapping unit (MMU) and, for specific wetland map units within the West unit, to 0.1 ha (0.24 acres) MMU. Another set of 1:6,000-scale CIR aerial photographs dated October 2004 were used to aid interpretation mapping of the West unit’s MMU. An ancillary set of 1:12,000-scale true color aerial photos dated April 2005 (leaf-off) covering the entire Lakeshore lands were used for additional reference during mapping.

Cruise Track Lines, 2015, Gateway National Recreation Area

Line shapefile showing the track lines of the acoustic mapping at Sandy Hook, NJ between July 2015 and August 2015. 
 The side scan sonar survey was done simultaneously with the bathymetry swath survey and used an EdgeTech Model 4125 Towfish bow-mounted from Lookdown at 400 and 900 kHz. The 4125 Towfish utilizes EdgeTech’s Full Spectrum CHIRP technology to produce higher resolution images than a non-CHIRP system. EdgeTech Discovery Software was used to acquire the side scan sonar data using the JSF format at a resolution of about 2.3 cm. All JSF files collected using EdgeTech’s Discover Software were processed using John Gann’s Chesapeake Technology SonarWiz5. Dimensions of contacts should be considered accurate to +/- 30% of the measured dimensions. This system also records the direct arrival intensity data.
