    • WorldView-2 Satellite Image Inventory for Timor-Leste

    Metadata Updated: October 19, 2024

    Inventory of satellite images from DigitalGlobe’s WorldView-2 satellite purchased by the NOAA Coral Reef Ecosystem Program for Timor-leste from Jan 26, 2010 to August 10, 2014. Images were acquired for purposes of deriving seafloor depths and benthic habitat classes for the nearshore waters (< 20m depths) of Timor-leste. In addition to the inventory, the dataset includes the regions of interest (ROI) defined by NOAA used to define the geographic areas to acquire the satellite images from DigitalGlobe, the boundary extent of the available images within each ROI, and the footprint (extent) of each image. The data within each satellite image is clipped to the ROI. The ROI, boundary, and footprint files are provided in shapefile format, and the inventory is provided as a text file, which corresponds to the footprints shapefile.

    Lineage The image catalog is stored as an ESRI file geodatabase (not available) and serves two purposes: 1) it is an inventory of all the satellite images purchased by NOAA for each region of interest (ROI) in Timor-Leste, and 2) it contains features associated with the images, including the ROI, the boundary extent of the available images within each ROI, and the footprints of each image (exported as shapefiles and publicly accessible). Within GIS, the footprints can be used to quickly identify the image files that fall within a geographic area of interest. Furthermore, the inventory (extracted from the footprints shapefile) provides metadata for the imagery, and also indicates if the images were georeferenced and used to derive depths or habitat classes.
