FGDC Metadata File for file mosaic_rc30_final.img (RC-30 Registered Mosaic) McKenna MOUT Site, Ft. Benning, GA. 1 IDENTIFICATION INFORMATION 1.1 CITATION 1.1.1 ORIGINATOR: Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. 1.1.2 PUBLICATION DATE: 1 August 1997 1.1.4 TITLE: RC-30 Aerial Photograph Mosaic for Ft. Benning GA 1.1.4 GEOSPATIAL DATA PRESENTATION FORM: remote sensing image 1.2 DESCRIPTION 1.2.1 ABSTRACT: This remote sensing image is based on a series of unregistered frames of RC-30 aerial photography collected from from the Dept. of Energy's Airborne Multisensor Pod System (AMPS) Mission 9 on August 20, 1996, using a Wild RC-30 aerial mapping camera on Kodak infrared false color film. The data were collected at an altitude of 4500 ft above ground level. This mosaic is composed of 24 frames (in the original 9 x 9 in format) which cover the study area around McKenna MOUT, at Ft. Benning, GA. 8 x 10 inch contact duplicate transparencies were scanned at an optical resolution of 30 microns, for an effective ground resolution of 0.5 m pixels. Camera and lens serial numbers and certification parameters are available from the AMPS website (http://amps.gov). 1.2.2 PURPOSE: This RC-30 aerial photography was used to generate a digital basemap of a 4 km by 4 km area at the McKenna MOUT site at Ft. Benning, GA 1.3 TIME PERIOD OF CONTENT 1.3.1 TIME PERIOD INFORMATION 1.3.1.1 SINGLE DATE/TIME 1.3.1.1.1 CALENDAR DATE: 20 August 1996 1.3.2 CURRENTNESS REFERENCE: The time period information above refers to the date that the DOE AMPS imagery was collected, and therefore represents the ground conditions at that time. 1.4 STATUS 1.4.1 PROGRESS: Complete. 1.4.2 MAINTENANCE AND UPDATE FREQUENCY: None planned. 1.5 SPATIAL DOMAIN 1.5.1 BOUNDING COORDINATES 1.5.1.1 WEST BOUNDING COORDINATE: 84 49 56.95 W 1.5.1.2 EAST BOUNDING COORDINATE: 84 46 40.02 W 1.5.1.3 NORTH BOUNDING COORDINATE: 32 23 44.22 N 1.5.1.4 SOUTH BOUNDING COORDINATE: 32 20 47.45 N 1.6 KEYWORDS 1.6.1 THEME 1.6.1.1 THEME KEYWORD THESAURUS: None. 1.6.1.2 THEME KEYWORD: RC-30 1.6.2 PLACE 1.6.2.1 PLACE KEYWORD THESAURUS: None. 1.6.2.2 PLACE KEYWORD: Ft.

Full assessment of the accuracy of each frame used in the mosaic can be obtained by examining the block list file created by the Orthomax program used to orthoregister the photography (see accompanying file utm_aug2096_dflts_332). Frames 25, 68, and 95 shown in this file were not utilized in the final mosaic. 2.5 LINEAGE 2.5.1 SOURCE INFORMATION 2.5.1.1 SOURCE CITATION 2.5.1.1.1 ORIGINATOR: U.S. Department of Energy. 2.5.1.1.2 PUBLICATION DATE: None 2.5.1.1.4 TITLE: RC-30 Aerial Photograph for Ft.

Imagine's Orthomax package was used to do the orthoregistration. 58 of the 143 NIMA GPS surveyed ground control points and an additional 121 image to image tie points were utilized to determine geoposition in this registration process. A NIMA level-3 DTED was utilized for vertical control. After orthoregistration, cloud masks were made for each frame to remove most clouds. The final mosaic was from these masked images, resampled to a 0.5 meter per pixel resolution. 2.5.2.3 PROCESS DATE: Jan-July 1997 2.6 CLOUD COVER: Variable; less than 5% in final image 3 SPATIAL DATA ORGANIZATION INFORMATION 3.2 DIRECT SPATIAL REFERENCE METHOD: Raster. 4 SPATIAL REFERENCE INFORMATION 4.1 HORIZONTAL COORDINATE SYSTEM DEFINITION 4.1.2 PLANAR 4.1.2.2 GRID COORDINATE SYSTEM 4.1.2.2.1 GRID COORDINATE SYSTEM NAME: UTM 4.1.2.2.2 UNIVERSAL TRANSVERSE MERCATOR (UTM) 4.1.2.2.2.1 UTM ZONE NUMBER: 16 4.1.2.2.2.2 TRANSVERSE MERCATOR PARAMETERS SCALE FACTOR AT CENTRAL MERIDIAN: 0.9996 LONGITUDE OF CENTRAL MERIDIAN: 87 W LATITUDE OF PROJECTION ORIGIN: 0 FALSE EASTING: 500,000 Meters FALSE NORTHING: 0 Meters 7 METADATA REFERENCE INFORMATION 7.1 METADATA DATE: 1 August 1997 7.2 METADATA REVIEW DATE: 01 August 1997 7.4 METADATA CONTACT 7.4.2 CONTACT ORGANIZATION PRIMARY 7.4.2.1 CONTACT ORGANIZATION: Remote Sensing Group, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory 7.4.2.2 CONTACT PERSON: Karen Steinmaus 7.4.4 CONTACT ADDRESS 7.4.4.1 ADDRESS TYPE: Postal 7.4.4.2 ADDRESS: PO Box 999, MS K9-55 7.4.4.3 CITY: Richland 7.4.4.4 STATE OR PROVINCE: WA 7.4.4.5 POSTAL CODE: 99352 7.4.4.6 COUNTRY: USA 7.4.5 CONTACT VOICE TELEPHONE: (509) 372-6288 7.5 METADATA STANDARD NAME: FGDC Content Standards for Digital Geospatial Metadata 7.6 METADATA STANDARD VERSION: 6/8/94
