Hawaii Orthoimagery

•USDA and USGS develop strategy for acquiring new Orthoimagery for all 8 major Hawaiian Islands: Niihau, Kauai, Oahu, Maui, Molokai, Lanai, Kahoolawe and Hawaii (Big Island).

•Hawaiian Islands were a combination DG/WV-2, 4 Band and 8 Band acquisitions.

•After receiving additional funding from State of Hawaii all islands were upgraded to 8 Band Orthoimagery.

•USGS, State of Hawaii and USDA have contracted for complete coverage of all 8 major Hawaiian Islands with DigitalGlobe/WorldView-2 Satellite Orthoimagery.

•Hawaii will be the first state with complete coverage of High Resolution Multi-Spectral data from WV-2!

Summary

- If Oahu is approved then we should have all approved Hawaii data (Niihau, Kauai, Oahu, Kahoolawe, Maui, East side of Hawaii/Big Island by ~ end of March, 2011.

- 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.

- USDA has been working on Pan-Sharpening techniques. Recently we were able to Pan Sharpen East Side of the Big Island with ERDAS 2011, 64 Bit mode. Kauai is in progress for Pan Sharpening.
