Imagery data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Alibates Flint Quarries National Monument and Lake Meredith National Recreation Area

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.

A 2-tiered contract for acquiring aerial photography was established with Horizons, Incorporated of Rapid City, South Dakota. This contract specified the acquisition of color infrared (CIR) aerial photography for LAMR and vicinity at two different scales. In addition to the standard 1:12,000 scale photography typically used for photo-interpretation, the project also required 1:40,000 scale photography for the production of orthophotos for the entire area. The project area is covered by 16 flight lines flown southwest to northeast for the 1:12,000 scale photography and 4 flight lines for the 1:40,000 scale photography. A total of 364 CIR photographs were taken at 1:12,000 (1"=1,000') scale and 58 CIR photographs for the 1:40,000 (1" = 3,333') all printed on 9"x 9" paper stock. Forward overlap for all photographs was approximately 55-65% and sidelap between flight lines was approximately 25-35%. All photography was acquired on July 14-16, 2002.

Imagery data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Gettysburg National Military Park and Eisenhower 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.

Two digital orthophoto mosaics were produced for Gettysburg National Military Park (GETT) and Eisenhower National Historic Site (EISE) because aerial photography was acquired in two separate flights and because the file size of a single mosaic would be unmanageably large. One mosaic covers the western portion of Gettysburg National Military Park and all of EisenhowerNational Historic Site and is referred to below as the GETT/EISE mosaic. The second mosaic covers the eastern, East Cavalry Field (ECF) portion of Gettysburg National Military Park and is referred to below as the GETT/ECF mosaic. Color infrared, stereo pair 1:6,000 scale aerial photography for both mosaics was acquired from two overflights on April 13, 2003, during leaf-off conditions, by Kucera International.

Hydrographic and Impairment Statistics Database: CANY

Hydrographic and Impairment Statistics (HIS) is a National Park Service (NPS) Water Resources Division (WRD) project established to track certain goals created in response to the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 (GPRA). One water resources management goal established by the Department of the Interior under GRPA requires NPS to track the percent of its managed surface waters that are meeting Clean Water Act (CWA) water quality standards. This goal requires an accurate inventory that spatially quantifies the surface water hydrography that each bureau manages and a procedure to determine and track which waterbodies are or are not meeting water quality standards as outlined by Section 303(d) of the CWA. This project helps meet this DOI GRPA goal by inventorying and monitoring in a geographic information system for the NPS: (1) CWA 303(d) quality impaired waters and causes; and (2) hydrographic statistics based on the United States Geological Survey (USGS) National Hydrography Dataset (NHD). Hydrographic and 303(d) impairment statistics were evaluated based on a combination of 1:24,000 (NHD) and finer scale data (frequently provided by state GIS layers).

Imagery data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Great Smoky Mountains 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.

Overstory vegetation was mapped using more than 1000 color infrared aerial photographs of 1:12,000 scale in film transparency format recorded with a Wild RC20 photogrammetric camera, f = 15 cm) in late October by the U. S. Forest Service. The fall photos were acquired when the leaves were still on the trees (leaf-on) and displayed a color diversity that allowed the vegetation communities/species to be identified. Relief displacements were a major problem, in some cases reaching more than 40 mm on the 23 x 23 cm format photographs. The understory vegetation was mapped from 1:40,000-scale color infrared photographs recorded (with a Wild RC30 camera, f = 15 cm) in the winter months as part of the USGS National Aerial Photography Program (NAPP).

Invasive Crabs Inventory at Assateague Island National Seashore - Open Format Dataset

An invasive crab inventory survey was performed to document the abundance and spatial distribution of the European green crab (Carcinus maenas) and the Japanese shore crab (Hemigrapsus sanguineus) at Assateague Island National Seashore (ASIS) which forms the eastern boundaries of Chincoteague and Sinepuxent Bays. Three habitat types (rocky, vegetated and unvegetated) are present within the Chincoteague and Sinepuxent Bays. Each habitat type was sampled to determine if different habitat types support different populations of these invasive crabs. Rocky habitat is known to be limited in these bays and there are only seven known locations of this habitat type. Crab traps were placed at randomly assigned stations where tidal elevations are within the known range and preferences of the invasive crabs.

Throughout two surveys representing July and September conditions, 15 species were collected and only one species was identified as an invasive crab. Only three C. maenas were captured throughout the project. These individuals were captured during the July survey at one of the rocky habitat stations. No invasive crab species were collected at either the vegetated or unvegetated habitats. Discrete water quality parameters that were measured during the initial deployment indicate that temperature and salinity at the survey stations may be at the extreme end of this species tolerance.

Imagery data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Colonial National Historical 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.

Two sets of digital orthophoto mosaics, leaf-on (fall) and leaf-off (spring), were created for Colonial National Historical Park. To achieve manageable file sizes, each set is made up of five files that, together, cover the entire geographic extent of the park. Kucera International acquired color infrared, stereo pair 1:6,000 scale aerial photography for the leaf-on mosaics on October 26, 2001 and, for the leaf-off mosaics on March 1, 2002. The photography was delivered to the National Park Service (NPS), quality checked, accepted as provided, and sent to NCSU-CEO. Upon receipt at NCSU-CEO, the air photos were counted to make sure that none were missing, scanned and saved in .tif format, and placed in the air photo archive maintained at NCSU-CEO for the NPS Northeast Region Inventory and Monitoring Program. Associated data and information provided by Kucera International, and also stored in the air photo archive, include the airborne global positioning system (GPS) and inertial mapping unit (IMU) data files, the camera calibration certificates for the cameras, and the hardcopy flight reports for the photography that crosswalk the airborne GPS and IMU data to the photo frame numbers.

The leaf-on and leaf-off mosaics were produced from 328 and 280 color infrared air photos, respectively, scanned at 600 dpi with 24-bit color depth. For each of the ten mosaics (five leaf-on and five leaf-off), scanned .tif images of the relevant air photos were imported into ERDAS Imagine (.img) format where a photo block was created using airborne GPS and IMU data that Kucera International supplied with the aerial photography. Each photo block was manipulated until it could be triangulated with a root mean square error of less than 1. At this point, single frame orthophotos (one for each air photo) were generated within Imagine and exported to Imagine .lan format. Then the .lan files were imported into ER Mapper’s native (.ers) format, and an ER Mapper algorithm was created which contains the color balancing information and the cutlines created for each of the final mosaics. In ER Mapper, band interleaved by line (.bil) image and header files for each mosaic were generated, the .bil images were imported into Imagine .img format, and, finally, the .img images were compressed using MrSID software with a 20:1 compression ratio. The final mosaics, in both .img and MrSID formats, are stored in the NCSU-CEO data archive.
