Description
High resolution Red-Green-Blue (RGB) orthorectified camera images mosaicked and output onto a fixed, uniform spatial grid using nearest-neighbor resampling; spatial resolution is 0.1 m. The digital camera is part of a suite of instruments on the NEON Airborne Observation Platform (AOP) that also includes a full-waveform LiDAR system and the NEON Imaging Spectrometer. In the orthorectification process, the digital imagery is re-mapped to the same geographic projection as the LiDAR and imaging spectrometer data that is acquired simultaneously. The resulting images share the same map projection grid space as the orthorectified spectrometer and LiDAR imagery. Since the digital camera imagery is acquired at higher spatial resolution than the imaging spectrometer data, it can aid in identifying features in the spectrometer images including manmade features (e.g., roads, fence lines, and buildings) that are indicative of land-use change.
