Tony Kimmet (USDA, NRCS) updates the status of the Worldview-2 statewide, 8-band imagery collection for the State of Hawaii

1. Hawaii and Pacific Basin Update April 28th, 2011 Tony Kimmet USDA-NRCS-NGMC 501 Felix, Bldg. 23 Fort Worth, Texas 76115 tony.kimmet@ftw.usda.gov

2. Topics 1) Hawaii DigitalGlobe QuickBird-2 Acquisition 2) Hawaii DigitalGlobe WorldView-2 Acquisition Status 3) Differences in DG-WV2 datasets 4) Pacific Basin Satellite Acquisition (DG-QB2/WV2/, GeoEye-1) 5) End User License Agreement Information 6) Data Sizes 7) Distribution Strategy

4. - Oahuis collected by DHS/NGA/USGS as part of the Urban 133 areas project.

5. All islands have DG .6 Meter Resolution, Four Band Orthoimagery data except Oahu (1 Ft., Natural Color).

6. Complete coverage was accomplished in 2009 with the deliveries of DOQQ’s for Hawaii Island at a cost of ~ $ 600,000 including Enterprise Premium upgrades.

8. DigitalGlobe WorldView-2 Summary - Most islands will be delivered when complete approved coverage is available so DigitalGlobe can Radiometric balance the Imagery. Big Island will be in 2-3 pieces. Data delivered is Pan/8 Band MS, 16 Bit, Radiometric Balanced in GeoTIFF format, Metadata with Shapefiles etc.. - Hawaii Funding contribution were adequate for either DigitalGlobe Pan/8 Multi-Spectral Band (8 Band Bundle) or 4 Band Pan-Sharpen product but not for both products. We (USDA, USGS, SOH) decided to acquire the DG-WV2 8 Band Bundle. - USDA has been working on Pan-Sharpening techniques. Recently we were able to Pan Sharpen all WV-2 Multi-Spectral Bands (8) for all Hawaiian islands using the following: - ERDAS 2011, 64 Bit mode on a MS-64 Bit Workstation with quad processing ores and 2 TB of temp hard disc space. - DigitalGlobe does a slightly better Pan-Sharpening with their Software/Hardware by are limited to 4 Band Pan-Sharpening.

11. Oahu, East Coast DG-WV2 January 2011

12. Satellite Imagery: - Always collected at same everyday (10:30 Local Time). - NADIR was fairly good on some/most of Oahu.
