Digitized Aerial Photographs
The Black Earth image files are the results of a cooperative
effort between the United States Geological Survey -
National Mapping Division's Western Mapping Center (WMC) and
the Soil Conservation Service's Cartographic and Geographic
Information Systems staffs. With some overlap, the images
on this disc provide coverage of the Black Earth 7 1/2
minute quadrangle divided into quarters in Dane County, WI.
The numbers of lines and samples for the image .DAT files are:
lines: samples:
BENE 3879 3164
BENW 3876 3164
BESW 3869 3164
BESE 3870 3164
(all are 8 bit images)
The original images are SCS aerial photographs acquired
according to National Aerial Photography Program
specifications. WMC used the inner orientation parameters
(aerial camera calibrated focal length and calibrated
fiducials), and USGS Digital Elevation Model data to rectify
and register the images. Digital files were created using a
Perkin-Elmer Corporation PDS microdensitometer Data
Acquisition System. With this system WMC can scan and
separate colors, or create a single-band panchromatic
orthophoto quadrangle as presented here in the Black Earth
imagery.
The Black Earth images are registered to North America Datum
1983 UTM coordinates. The images have been rotated to a
true north-south alignment by WMC.
For further information concerning either this process or the
availability of other digital data sets, contact John Findley,
USGS, National Mapping Division, Reston, VA.
