Imagery data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Mississippi National River and Recreation Area
2012. Imagery data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Mississippi National River and Recreation Area
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. The digital aerial imagery used for the onscreen mapping was obtained on September 24, 2012 (CIR imagery), and on October 12, 2012 (true-color imagery), using a plane-mounted digital camera. Many supplemental imagery and data sets were also used by the mappers to visualize and understand the landscape. These layers increased the mappers’ ability to understand historical landscape change and use, determine wet and dry areas, and better visualize conifers. The supplemental imagery and data sets included digital aerial imagery and field data from the field reconnaissance efforts, and vegetation plot and verification site data.
