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. 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.

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. The mapping component was initiated by photo interpretation and digitization of 3-band 2001 color infrared (CIR) IKONOS imagery for the vegetation and land use classes determined through the field visit and expert knowledge of project team members. The heads-up digitization was performed at a display scale of 1:1000 to 1:1500. The digitization, evaluation, and modifications were iterative and collaborative processes involving the GIS analysts and the rest of the team. Preliminary maps were checked, corrected, and rechecked for boundary delineations. Final edits were made using the 2009 NAIP imagery, which captured the changes made along the eastern end of the property with the construction of the visitor’s center.
