Imagery data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Friendship Hill National Historic Site
2003. 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.
