  Description: 
    Abstract: This project is a cooperative effort between the National Ocean
      Service, National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science, Center for
      Coastal Monitoring and Assessment, the University of Hawaii, and
      Analytical Laboratories of Hawaii, LLC. The goal of the work was to
      develop coral reef mapping methods and compare benthic habitat maps
      generated by photointerpreting georeferenced color aerial
      photography, hyperspectral and IKONOS satellite imagery.
      
      The enhanced spectral resolution of hyperspectral and control of
      bandwidths of multispectral data yield an advantage over color aerial
      photography particularly when coral health and time series analysis
      of coral reef community structure are of interest.  Depending on the
      type of instrument, a spectral imaging system can be utilized to see
      multiple colors from ultraviolet through the far infrared range.  The
      AURORA hyperspectral imaging system collected 72 ten nm bands in the
      visible and near infrared spectral range with a 3 meter pixel
      resolution.  The data was processed to select band widths, which
      optimized feature detection in shallow and deep water.
      Photointerpreters can accurately and reliably delineate boundaries of
      features in the imagery as they appear on the computer monitor using
      a software interface such as the Habitat Digitizer.
    Purpose: The National Ocean Service is conducting research to
      digitally map biotic resources and coordinate a long-term monitoring
      program that can detect and predict change in U.S. coral reefs, and
      their associated habitats and biological communities.

Data_Quality_Information: 
  Logical_Consistency_Report: All habitat delineations were completed
    by a photointerpreter on data that had been processed only to
    maximize specific band widths for viewing data at varying depths.
  Completeness_Report: Habitat delineations could be made accurately in water depths up to
    30 meters.  Band combinations were selected which optimized benthic
    habitat information in shallow and deep water and the scenes were
    converted into RGB composites.

    Ordering_Instructions: A flightline containing hyperspectral imagery
      will have two separate image files representing a subset of 6 bands
      from the 72 original bands collected. File naming convention is as
      follows 'flightline number-date(s) acquired-hyperspectral or airphoto
      imagery'. Hyperspectral flightline files will end in either 272217 or
      332211 representing the band number in the respective file. Band
      numbers equate to the following spectral wavelength in nanometers:
      27-605.51991, 22- 556.918030, 17- 508.319000, 33- 663.835022, and 11-
      450.001007. These approximate true-color band combinations were
      chosen to highlight shallow (272217) and deep (332211) water benthic
      features.  Note that the resolution of the georeferenced imagery has
      been degraded significantly to reduce file size and facilitate
      internet viewing.
