Imagery data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Rock Creek Park

Metadata Updated: June 5, 2024

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.

One complete set of aerial photography was provided for the project, including both a set of prints and diapositives. The specifications for the aerial photography are listed below:

Color infrared photography (CIR) Flown October 29, 1996 - (height of the leaf change) Nominal scale - 1:6,000 (Nominal refers to the photo scale variability within each aerial photo and across flight lines. In this case the photo scale ranged from approximately 1:5,800 to 1:6,200) Approximate photo size - 9" x 9" Overlap between photos and across flight paths met the standards for photo interpretation using a mirror stereo scope. (Approximately 60% between photos and 10% - 20% between the flight lines)
