Imagery data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Voyageurs National Park
1996. Imagery data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Voyageurs 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. Throughout the entire interpretation process, October 1988 CIR photographs were also viewed to better determine vegetation types. The 1988 photos, because they effectively captured fall colors in leaf canopies, were very helpful in revealing various distinctions not apparent on the 1995 and 1996 photographs. The primary characteristic that differed was that of color. Where changes in the vegetation occurred between the two sets of photographs, only characteristics on the recent set were used to determine the types.
