Surdex Corporation and Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) 2006 Remote-sensing image Sioux Falls, SD U.S. Geological Survey A 1.5-foot resolution panchromatic (B and W) USGS Digital Orthophoto Quarter-quadrangle (DOQQ) A DOQQ is a raster image in which displacement in the image caused by sensor orientation and terrain relief has been removed. A DOQQ combines the image characteristics of a photograph with the geometric qualities of a map. The geographic extent of the DOQQ is equivalent to a quarter of a 7.5-minute map (3.75 minutes of latitude and longitude) with overedge . The overedge ranges from a minimum of 50 meters to 300 meters beyond the extremes of the primary and secondary corner ticks. DOQQs are produced with a 1-meter ground sample distance (GSD) and are cast on the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) projection on the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83). Primary (solid) and secondary (dashed) corner ticks are burned into the image to indicate the geographic corners of the DOQQ. The primary ticks always show the NAD83 corners. The secondary ticks show either the NAD27 or the local horizontal datum in use in a specific area (e.g. the Puerto Rico datum, the Hawaiian datum). Each DOQQ is produced to meet a National Map Accuracy Standard (NMAS) for 1:12000 scale maps (10.16 meters radial error at a 90% probability). Each DOQQ is formatted with a variable length ASCII header followed by a series of 8- bit image data lines. The ASCII header is padded to equal the length of one image line. The header contains information on file organization, display (samples and lines), georeferencing, and production sources. The file structure for a native format DOQQ is analogous to a raw raster BIL (panchromatic) or BIP (RGB color). DOQQs are nominally produced from National Aerial Photography Program (NAPP) source imagery flown at 20,000 feet above average ground using a single source image for each DOQQ. NAPP imagery is flown leaf-off in deciduous vegetation regions. This data depicts geographic features on the surface of the earth. DOQQs serve a variety of purposes, from interim base maps to field references for earth science investigations and analysis. The DOQQ is useful as a layer in a geographic information system (GIS) and as a tool for performing digital map revision. DOQQs form the medium-resolution image base for The National Map. 20050218 20050504 Ground Condition Complete Unknown.

SAIC QVerify V0.1 Software, SAIC QSideview V0.1., SUNW Ultra-4, Solaris OS V5.9 The digital dodging software developed by Surdex is used to counter the effects of haze and sun angle illumination on the film photography. This procedure has been proven to provide a distinct advantage in minimizing the need for extensive radiometric balancing and improves automatic pass/tie point collection during the aerotriangulation phase. The net affect of this program is to drive the source image closer to a histogram with a nearly Gaussian distribution. The output of this program will always produce an image with full dynamic range, nearly regardless of the source image. Minimal radiometric balancing was achieved using Inpho's Ortho Vista software. All DOQQ header data and image file sizes are validated using USGS software before being archived. This validation process ensures correct physical format and field values for header elements. Logical relationships between header elements are tested. Overlap regions between individual DOQQs are visually inspected for excessive horizontal displacement. DOQQ images are visually inspected for completeness to ensure that no gaps or image misplacements exist within the 3.75-minute image area or the overedge coverage. DOQQs can be derived by mosaicking multiple images to ensure complete coverage. and between adjacent images. DOQQs are nominally produced from National Aerial Photography Program (NAPP) source imagery flown at 20,000 feet above average ground using a single source image for each DOQQ. NAPP imagery is flown leaf-off in deciduous vegetation regions. Source imagery is nominally cloud free. Coastal areas and international boundary regions may have areas without images (void areas) in parts of the coverage. These void areas have a radiometric value of either zero (black) or 128 (uniform gray). DOQQs nominally are produced with overedge coverage. This coverage is variable and may range from a minimum of 50 meters to a maximum of 300 meters beyond the extremes of the primary or secondary corners. The resulting DOQQ is a rectangle whose size may vary in relation to adjoining DOQQs. Random selection of 5% of the DOQQ tiles for excessive edge match offset.

Surdex Corporation 2005 CD-ROM 20050218 20050504 Ground condition CONTROL Horizontal and vertical control used to establish positions and elevations for reference and correlation purposes and as input to the aerotriangulation process. Control consists of both Airborne GPS to provide camera station positions and photoidentifiable surveyed ground control for groundreference. Source imagery was collected using four cameras (two Wild RC-30 and two Jena LMK), all have 6" focal lengths and a current calibration by USGS. The imagery was processed by HAS Images Inc. in Dayton, OH. Airbone GPS data was processed by Surdex Corporation. Image negatives were scanned at 10-micrometer resolution on Leica DSW Image Scanners and dodge using SurDodge software by Surdex. The scanned images were then used as input, along with Airborne GPS data and camera calibration data in Intergraph's ImageStation Automatic Triangulation (ISAT) for point mensuration. An assessment of the USGS National Elevation Dataset (NED) revealed several areas of insufficient data, at which other DEM sources obtained by Surdex was used. The aero triangulation parameter data, used with the scanned and dodged imagery were orthorectified using the modified elevation models and Surdex orthorectification software. Some orthorectified images were then mosaicked, if necessary, to reduce minor image defects. Radiometric balancing achieved using Inpho's OrthoVista, as necessary, to produce a consistent image tone for DOQQs. Product tiles were then extracted and converted to GeoTIFF format written to hard drive for delivery. range 20051212 - 20060728 Raster Pixel State Plane Coordinate System 1983 1202 0.999941176 -90.166666667 36.66666667 700000 0.0 Row and column 1.5 1.5 U.S. Survey Feet North American Datum of 1983 Geodetic Reference System 80 6378137 298.5722210 Panchromatic orthoimagery is organized in a single channel.
