2010 NOAA NGS Ortho-rectified Color Mosaic of Pensacola Bay, FL - FL0703 - Phase II - Pensacola Bay

Data set contains 2.5km by 2.5km digital orthophotography mosaics. The digital orthophotos in this series have a nominal ground resolution of 1 meter. The digital orthophoto mosaics are three band, 8-bit GeoTIFFs with pyramids and are color balanced to be uniform while still maintaining as much of the original color and appearance as practical. The source imagery was flown on February 6-7, 2010 with a WILD camera with a focal length of 153.28mm. The film was captured by NOAA at a negative scale of 1" = 2,500' or a nominal scale of 1:30,000. Aerotriangulation was performed in BINGO as full bundle block adjustments. The project area extends from Big Lagoon to Navaree Beach and includes Pensacola Bay, Escambia Bay, and East Bay; as well as portions of Santa Rosa Sound, and Santa Rosa Island and various small bays and tributaries to the bays.

Ortho-rectified mosaic tiles are an ancillary product of NOAA's Coastal Mapping Program (CMP), created through a wider Integrated Ocean and Coastal Mapping initiative to increase support for multiple uses of the data.

The data set was created on Windows XP operating system clients running ZI Imaging's Ortho Pro, ArcGIS, MicroStation and Socet Set application.

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 Coastal Mapping Program standards.; Quantitative Value: 0.77 meters, Test that produced the value: These data are accurate with a 95% circular error confidence level.

Cloud Cover: 0

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.

Imagery was collected with a WILD camera with a focal length of 153.28mm. Aerotriangulation was performed in BINGO as full bundle block adjustments. Imagery was orthorectified to a USGS DEM using Z/I Intergraph OrthoPro. Seamlines were drawn and then mosaics were also cut using Z/I Intergraph OrthoPro. Mosaics were checked to ensure they were free of artifiacts, fiducial marks, film tilting or frame borders.
