The acquisitions began in the Fall of 2010 and continued in the Spring and Fall of 2011 - 2014, with a final collection in the Spring of 2015. These images have been orthorectified, mosaiced and tiled for each collection cycle into images called Digital Orthophoto Quarter-Quarter-Quads (DOQQQs or simply Q3s). Consistent standards were maintained across all epochs in regards to sensor suite, environmental imaging constraints, processing requirements, geospatial accuracy standards and final deliverables. Four band (RGB, NIR) 12-bit depth digital frame photography was acquired with a Z/I DMC camera system flown at an altitude of 10,000 feet AGL yielding a nominal Ground Sampling Distance (GSD) of 1 foot. Post-processed onboard GPS/IMU data were submitted together with available photo-identifiable ground control points, to bundle block aerotriangulation adjustment, which provided enhanced positioning and orientation of each photo. The result is a high-accuracy, fully rectified and seamless ortho-image tiles and radiometrically balanced DOQQQs that meet the American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing Class 2, 1:2,400 scale accuracy requirement. These Q3s were created from the original four band (Red, Green, Blue, Near Infrared) individual camera images. Each image was rectified to remove camera distortion and properly place the image pixels in relation to the earth. The images are roughly 1.6 miles by 1.5 miles with overlap. The naming convention is the letter "O" followed by the flight-line and the image number, each consisting of 3 digits. On behalf of the NOAA Natural Resource Damage Assessment (NRDA) Board of Trustees, AeroMetric, Inc, under contract to British Petroleum (BP) completed a series of seasonal (Fall, Spring) Digital Mapping Camera imagery acquisitions of the Northern Gulf of Mexico coast, ranging from Texas to Florida with the goal of capturing shoreline oiling, potential resource exposure and to characterize near-shore subaquatic vegetation (SAV) and related habitats. completed Office of Response and Restoration 1305 East-West Highway Silver Spring MD 20910 https://response.restoration.noaa.gov/ WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link ORR Home Page Website listed for Office of Response and Restoration information pointOfContact Office of Response and Restoration 1305 East-West Highway Silver Spring MD 20910 https://response.restoration.noaa.gov/ WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link ORR Home Page Website listed for Office of Response and Restoration information custodian unknown DOC/NOAA/NOS/ORR > Office of Response and Restoration, National Ocean Service, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords 23.3 EARTH SCIENCE > HUMAN DIMENSIONS > ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS > OIL SPILLS theme Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Science Keywords 23.3 EARTH SCIENCE SERVICES > HAZARDS MANAGEMENT > HAZARDS MITIGATION service Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Service Keywords 23.3 Aerial imagery DWH Deepwater Horizon Digital Quarter, Quarter Quad MC252 SAV Seagrass Shoreline Submerged Aquatic Vegetation theme Alabama Florida Gulf of Mexico Louisiana Mississippi place DOC/NOAA/NOS/ORR > Office of Response and Restoration, National Ocean Service, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords 2017-04-24 publication 8.5 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2026.
