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 (CIR) aerial photographs of the park at 1:12,000 scale was acquired by Aero-Metric, Inc. on May 11th and 12th of 2012. These photos were scanned and converted to digital orthophotographs at 0.3 meter (1 ft) resolution before they were delivered to the NPS. Digital orthophotographs and hardcopy photographs in both film transparency and paper print formats were provided to CGR. A total of 202 photos in fifteen flight lines were required to cover TIMU.

Orthophotos, raw imagery, and scanned aerial photos are common files held here. The imagery we used was acquired by Digital- Globe Inc.’s Quickbird satellite on August 27, 2006, as a new, tasked acquisition for this project. Image preprocessing and initial interpretation to the formation level were done at the Arizona Remote Sensing Center, University of Arizona. The imagery product purchased was the “Ortho-ready Standard” bundle of four spectral bands (blue, green, red and near-infrared) at 2.4-m spatial resolution, plus the broadband panchromatic data at 0.6-m resolution. This imagery is intended to be orthorectified by the user and is only coarsely geo-registered, with a nominal spatial accuracy of 23 m CE90—meaning that 90% of features in the imagery must be within 23 meters of their true location on the ground.

On April 28, 2003, William Frament, USDA Forest Service (Northeastern Area State and Private Forestry, Durham, NH) acquired color infrared 1:8,000 scale (1 inch = 666.7 feet) aerial photography for a digital orthophoto mosaic of ROVA; however, the photography was incomplete in that it only covered Vanderbilt Mansion NHS. The following spring (May 12, 2004) during leaf-on conditions, Mr. Frament acquired a complete set of aerial photography for the four properties that currently comprise ROVA (including RFF). The mosaic was produced from 47 color infrared aerial photographs and published on September 24, 2004.

NISI Photo dates: 10/24/2000, Scale: 1:12000, size: 948ac The CIR aerial photographs in transparency format were scanned at 600 dpi (42 μm) using an Epson Expression 10000XL flatbed scanner.

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 was acquired from the USFS covering the entire project area. Photographs were acquired on July 03 and 07 and August 24, 1996. True color photographs were taken at 1:24,000 (1"=2,000') scale and printed as 9"x9" contact glass positives. For interpretation purposes, these were enlarged to 18"x18" and an approximately 1:12,000 scale. To economize, every other aerial photo was enlarged. Overlap for the 9"x9" photos is approximately 50-60% (approximately 20% for every other 18"x18" photo) and sidelap between flight lines is approximately 20-30%.

Orthophotos, raw imagery, and scanned aerial photos are common files held here. The initial base map layers were developed using the 2 m resolution color aerial orthophotos, since they had the highest spatial resolution. The regions were designed on their shared physiography: Eastside, Westside, Riverside, USFS, and Tsankawi sub-units. The vegetation map was developed using a combination of automated digital processing (supervised classifications and image segmentation) and direct image interpretation of high-resolution color and color infrared aerial orthophotography in combination with satellite imagery (Landsat Thematic Mapper).
