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. On April 28, 2003, William Frament, USDA Forest Service (Northeastern Area State and Private Forestry, Durham, NH), acquired leaf-off color infrared (CIR), stereo pair 1:8,000 scale aerial photography of Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park. The photography was acquired as part of a larger project flown for several eastern national parks at one time, and thus preceded the vegetation classification and mapping project. The photography was captured in late April when deciduous trees were mostly bare and the ground was generally free of snow. The image type consists of a raster 3-band color image.

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. Several imagery datasets were available for the mapping project. Table 7 lists the types of imagery used in the LEWI mapping project, including the date the imagery was produced and the source of the data. Landsat satellite imagery was acquired from GLOVIS (http://glovis.usgs.gov/). SPOT 4 imagery was downloaded from EarthExplorer (http://edcsns17.cr.usgs.gov/NewEarthExplorer/). Landsat imagery at 30 m resolution consists of 7 bands: 3 visible, 2 mid-infrared, 1 shortwave infrared and 1 thermal band. SPOT 4 imagery consists of 4 bands: 2 visible (10m), 1 shortwave infrared (10m), and 1 mid-infrared (20 m). Imagery used was from the summer 2008 (Landsat) and late fall 2010 (SPOT 4) to provide a phenological contrast useful in differentiating vegetation types. Every homogeneous vegetation type has a unique reflectance which is referred to as a signature. This unique signature is often more apparent and distinct in the infrared wavelengths outside of the human eye visible spectrum, enabling a remote sensing expert to use these unique satellite signature snapshots in time to differentiate various vegetation types.

Orthophotos, raw imagery, and scanned aerial photos are common files held here. Two sets of digital orthophotography were used in the vegetation/land use mapping process after the 2003 field season: (1) a digital orthophoto mosaic that is referred to as the Battlefield Unit photomosaic and (2) digital orthophotography of the Schuyler House, Saratoga Monument, and Victory Woods areas, located approximately seven mi (11.3 km) north of the Battlefield Unit, referred to as the Old Saratoga Unit orthophotography.

GRBA base map imagery included a 4-band, 1-meter resolution, 2007 Digital Globe product and a 4-band, 6-inch resolution product acquired in June and July 2007 by Digital Mapping, Inc. (DMI) for the Southern Nevada Water Authority. Interpretation and mapping of the vegetation began using a four step process involving: (1) preliminary image classification and segmentation, (2) photo-interpretation and digitizing, (3) ground-truthing of the mapped data, and (4) map refinement and finalization.

Orthophotos, raw imagery, and scanned aerial photos are common files held here. This project made use of existing photography rather than obtaining new aerial photos. Black and white 1:16,800 leaf-off aerial photographs of Morris County, dated April 24, 1999, were regarded at the inception of the project as sufficiently recent and of an appropriate scale and were selected for interpretation. The photos were obtained from Lockwood Mapping Company, Rochester, New York. Metadata records for the aerial photo digital tiff files were prepared according to current Federal Geographic Data Committee standards (FGDC 1998); however, available metadata for the photographs were limited.
