The source imagery was acquired on March 13, 2010, March 14, 2010 and March 15, 2010. The true color images were acquired with an Applanix Digital Sensor System (DSS). The original images were acquired at a higher resolution than the final ortho-rectified mosaic. Purpose: Ortho-rectified mosaic tiles are an ancillary product of NOAA's coast.noaa.goval Mapping Program (CMP), created through a wider Integrated Ocean and coast.noaa.goval Mapping initiative to increase support for multiple uses of the data. Supplemental_Information: The ground sample distance (GSD) for each pixel is 0.5 m.

Native_Data_Set_Environment: Microsoft Windows XP Version 5.1 (Build 2600) Service Pack 3, ESRI ArcCatalog 9.3.0.1770 Data_Quality_Information: Logical_Consistency_Report: All rectified images were loaded in Global Mapper to view the entire project area for tone differences, complete coverage, warping/smearing imagery due to inaccurate DEM, and any other obvious problems. The final tiles are used to measure the visible control points to compare against the surveyed coordinates and calculate an RMSE of 1.31 meters per NSSDA reporting. All final tiles are reviewed for artifacts, unblended seam-lines and warps or smears and then corrected using Photoshop. Completeness_Report: The extent of image coverage is limited to the acquired flight lines which were planned to map the shoreline and therefore may not include all areas within the bounding coordinates. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: The horizontal positional accuracy and the assurance of that accuracy are dependent upon the accuracy of the data inputs to the rectification process. These data inputs include the digital elevation model (DEM), accuracy of control, and methodology used to georeference the imagery that meet NOAA's coast.noaa.goval Mapping Program standards. Quantitative_Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Assessment: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Value: 1.5 Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Explanation: These data are accurate with a 95% circular error confidence level. Lineage: Process_Step: Process_Description: Mosaic's were generated from the color ortho-rectified imagery using OrthoVista. Pyramids are built in during this step. Mosaic data have not been histogram stretched and only minimal color balancing has been performed. The images are in 8 bit RGB. The DEM source is 90 meter posting SRTM NED. The images were taken from NOAA roll numbers 10NR10, 10NR10, 10NR10, 10NR10, 10NR10 and 10NR10. Cubic convolution resampling method was used to create the final ortho-rectified mosaic. Original image tiles are 2.5 km by 2.5 km squares.
