Imagery data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Wilson's Creek National Battlefield

Description

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.

The mapping component was produced by identifying land cover in a three-step process: (1) image objects were generated at 1 m resolution using e-Cognition applied to stacked leaf-on and leaf-off air photos, (2) image objects were coded with land cover classes on-screen, and (3) image objects were cut and corrected via heads-up digitizing at a display scale of 1:1,500 against a back-drop of air photos. Imagery was the most recent available from the National Agriculture Imagery Program, This included 2003 to 2007 true color and color infrared imagery.

Base Imagery used for mapping (acquired by MoRAP):
2007-2009, Greene County, MO, leaf-off, true color, 2 ft
2009, Greene County, MO, leaf-on, Color Infrared, 1 m
2009, Greene County, MO, leaf-on, true color, 1 m

Additional Imagery acquired and viewed by MoRAP:
1941 Panchromatic Aerial Photo
1936 Panchromatic Aerial Photo
