Description:
Abstract:
Orthophoto in geotiff format of Exit Creek and part of Paradise Creek, Alaska based on 12 October 2012 aerial photography and made by standard photogrammetric methods with a 0.15 meter cell resolution. Released concurrently with a digital elevation model.
Purpose:
Provide visual backdrop for vector data. This dataset supports a study of the fluvial and glacial development of the area immediately downstream of Exit Glacier on Alaska's Kenai Peninsula. Exit Glacier and the associated Exit Creek are within Kenai Fjords National Park, and their changes over time are of interest to park visitors and managers.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Aerial Photography Capture: A twin-engine aircraft with an on-board 6 inch focal length film camera was used to capture 6 exposures along 1 flight line. Scanning Process: The photographic negatives were scanned on a photogrammetric scanner at a resolution 12 microns to produce pixels with a nominal ground distance of about 0.1152 m. Aerotriangulation Process: The aerotriangulation was performed using GPS/IMU data and was refined using conventional photogrammetric methods. Orthorectification Process: The scanned images, aerotriangulation information, and DEM were processed using orthoimagery software to remove systematic and geographic distortions while georeferencing the scanned imagery. The resulting orthorectified images were then mosaicked and color balanced into a single image with a ground resolution of 0.15 meter.
