Imagery data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Kaloko Honokohau National Historical Park
2006. Imagery data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Kaloko Honokohau 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. To produce the spatial database and map layer, 2006, 0.6-meter, 4-band Quickbird satellite imagery (supplemented with 2008 Quickbird imagery) was provided by PACN. By comparing the signatures on the imagery to field and ground data 30 map units (18 vegetated, five barren, and seven land-use / land-cover) were developed and directly crosswalked or matched to their corresponding rUSNVC plant associations. The interpreted and remotely sensed data were converted to Geographic Information System (GIS) databases and maps were printed, field tested, reviewed, and revised. The final map layer was accessed for thematic accuracy by overlaying 90 independent accuracy assessment points. The final overall accuracy of the map layer was determined to be 97% with a Kappa value of 82%.
