Imagery data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument
2006. Imagery data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument
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. Aerial photography covering the entire project area was received by RSGIG from USGS/BRD. The color infrared (CIR) photographs were acquired on October 8, 1996 by Merrick, & Company, Aurora, Colorado, and were taken at 1:12,000 (1inch=1,000 feet) scale. Hardcopies of the photographs were provided as 9 inch x 9 inch diapositives. Overlap for these photos averaged approximately 50-60% and sidelap between flight lines is approximately 30-40%. The base maps, standard USGS digital orthophoto quarter quads (DOQQs) for geo-referencing or registration of delineated map classes were created from aerial photographs flown in October 1997. These maps are grayscale, with 1 meter per pixel resolution, UTM coordinate system, and NAD83 datum.
