Summary

An orthoimage is useful as a layer of any geographic information system (GIS). It can function as a cartographic base for displaying, generating, and modifying associated digital planimetric data. Other applications include environmental impact assessments, disaster management, emergency evacuation planning, flood analysis, soil erosion assessment, facility management, ground-water and watershed analysis, right of way and road alignment, transportation network inventory and analysis, preliminary design studies, vegetation classification detection of physical features or attributes not possible at ground level, and a myriad of additional applications.

Description

This raster dataset consists of 8-bit, 4-band (R, G, B, NIR) color orthoimagery. A digital orthoimage is a raster image processed from vertical aerial images in which displacement in the image due to sensor orientation and terrain relief have been removed. Orthoimagery combines the image characteristics of an image with the geometric qualities of a map. Unlike planimetric maps which depict natural and manmade features by means of lines, point symbols, texts and polygons, orthoimagery illustrate the actual images of features and are thus more easily interpreted than regular maps. The normal orientation of data in an orthoimage is by lines (rows) and samples (columns). Each line contains a series of pixels ordered from west to east with the order of the lines from north to south. Each image tile is stored in industry standard .TIFF (tagged interchange file format) with an associated true world header file. Aerial imagery was acquired during February 2013 from flying heights of approximately 7,500 feet above mean terrain. Each orthoimage tile is 5,000 feet X 5,000 feet in dimension, edge-tied with the adjacent tiles (no gap and no overlap). This dataset is published in NAD_1983_NSRS2007_StatePlane_Mississippi_West_FIPS_2302_Ft_US with units in feet.

DESCRIPTION ABSTRACT

This raster dataset consists of 8-bit, 4-band (R, G, B, NIR) color orthoimagery. A digital orthoimage is a raster image processed from vertical aerial images in which displacement in the image due to sensor orientation and terrain relief have been removed. Orthoimagery combines the image characteristics of an image with the geometric qualities of a map. Unlike planimetric maps which depict natural and

manmade features by means of lines, point symbols, texts and polygons, orthoimagery illustrate the actual images of features and are thus more easily interpreted than regular maps. The normal orientation of data in an orthoimage is by lines (rows) and samples (columns). Each line contains a series of pixels ordered from west to east with the order of the lines from north to south. Each image tile is stored in industry standard .TIFF (tagged interchange file format) with an associated true world header file. Aerial imagery was acquired during February 2013 from flying heights of approximately 7,500 feet above mean terrain. Each orthoimage tile is 5,000 feet X 5,000 feet in dimension, edge-tied with the adjacent tiles (no gap and no overlap).

This dataset is published in NAD_1983_NSRS2007_StatePlane_Mississippi_West_FIPS_2302_Ft_US with units in feet.

TYPE OF SOURCE MEDIA Aerial Images

PROCESS STEP PROCESS DESCRIPTION

Several major processes were done before the Hinds County orthophotos were produced namely: digital aerial photography, imagery processing and QC, softcopy aerial triangulation and QC, ortho-rectification and QC.


Aerial Photography: Aerial Photography was acquired with 80 mm focal length, Micorsoft Utltracam Eagle precision digital aerial mapping camera during February and early March of 2013. Aerial photography was flown at approximately 7500 feet above mean terrain. Planes were deployed with gyro-stabilized mount and equipped with forward motion compensation, Ariborne GPS and Intertial Measurement Unit. The photo mission was conducted under optimal atmospheric conditions and greater than 30 degree sun angle.

PROCESS DATE 201302-201303


PROCESS STEP PROCESS DESCRIPTION

The digital aerial imagery was transferred from the UCEcamera to a Mass Storage Unit (MSU) and shipped to Sanborn's main facility in Colorado Springs. Once downloaded, Data is processed via Micorsoft ultramap software from the raw camera format to a 4- band unsharpened color image and a pan image. An application is executed that outputs the mid-exposure pulse for each image. At this point a POS file is processed photo files as input to the Aerial Triangulation process. Raw camera data files are archived on LTO3 tapes. The imagery is processed using Intergraph PPS processing software to create a 3-band color image in natural color (RGB) format. The images are archived (on LTO3 tapes) and removed from system when orthophotography production has been completed.

PROCESS DATE 201303-201304


PROCESS STEP PROCESS DESCRIPTION

Softcopy (Digital) Aerotriangulation: This task involved the densification of ground control points, measurement of photo coordinates, computation and block adjustment to solve for exterior orientation parameters of individual photographs necessary for ortho-rectification. New ground control locations surveyed by the Sanborn map company; a combination of photo-identical points and targeted points were used. The ground control points were measured in a fully digital environment using softcopy stereoplotters and tie point and passpoints automatically generated. Analytical aerotriangulation computations and adjustment were done using ZI Imaging's ISAT software, which is capable of performing bundle block adjustments using a rigorous least squares analysis, and possesses error detection and removal facilities. Systematic error corrections for lens distortion, earth curvature, and atmospheric refraction.

State-of-the-art software with highly sophisticated error-detection routines was used to perform the computation and bundle block adjustment. Trained aerial triangulation specialist analyzed both numerical printouts and graphical error vector output display to detect gaps or holes in the block due to missing tie points, pass points or ground control.

PROCESS DATE 2013-05


PROCESS STEP PROCESS DESCRIPTION

Orthorectification: This task involved orthorectification of the raw digital raster images that were created from processing of Micorsoft Ultracam Eagle digital camera data. A

number of image processing techniques were used to maximize the quality of the deliverable images. All operations were performed using Sanborn's proprietary APS (METRO) software. The un-rectified raster images were georeferenced to the Hinds County client provided Lidar Surface using the digital aerotriangulation result and aerial camera data. Digital orthoimagery was created by draping the un-rectified raster images over their corresponding digital terrain models. All relief displacement was removed from the raw image files at ground level on a pixel-by-pixel basis using mathematical pixel manipulation and seams, yielding a set of orthorectified digital photo images. Mosaicking was performed to ensure a perfect edge match between all orthoimage tiles. Seam lines were generated automatically and manually manipulated where necessary to ensure that no image flaws result from seam lines passing through tall structures. Seamline calculations bring in radiometric values of the pixels that are used first and then the terrain is brought into the equation. The software uses the radiometric values to go around cars and buildings the best it can. If the software detects a substantial change in the surface (like steep hills to cliffs), the software will try to compensate with another image, to avoid smearing of the imagery. If the seams would not compensate for the surface change, it would create a smear or the hillside would be more stretched than it should be. There will be on occasion patches of seams hiding these terrain changes. All orthoimagery tiles were generated butt joints, no overlaps nor gaps. Radiometric adjustment was performed to balance and match color tones, brightness and contrast of the imagery over the whole project.

Color orthoimagery were produced 8-bit per channel, resulting in 32-bit RGB, .tif/.tfw format with a pixel size of 6in. Ortho tiles were generated according to the pre- approved County orthoimagery tile layout, with tiles 5,000' X 5,000'. Orthoimages were compressed on a County basis to .sid/.sdw format at a 20:1 compression ratio to develop a MrSID format mosaic.

PROCESS DATE 201305-201306


PROCESS STEP PROCESS DESCRIPTION

Quality Control All orthophoto tiles were thoroughly inspected according to Sanborn QA/QC quality control procedures. Comprehensive visual inspection included looking for mosaicking, image smearing and color balancing across the entire project.
