NOAA Infrared Orthorectified Coastal Mosaic Tiles for Louisiana

March 2010 imagery provides orthorectified infrared mosaic tiles covering the Louisiana coastline from Baton Rouge to Southwest Pass. NOAA's Integrated Ocean and Coastal Mapping initiative produced these tiles from imagery acquired with an Applanix Digital Sensor System. The final product has a ground sample distance of 0.50 meters per pixel.

Use Cases

• Analyze land cover changes using infrared spectral signatures from the .tif image tiles.
• Monitor coastal erosion or wetland health by comparing pixel values across the 0.50 m GSD mosaic.
• Integrate with true color RGB imagery (accession 0103945) for multimodal coastal feature classification.
• Assess urban development near the Louisiana coast through infrared reflectance patterns in the orthorectified tiles.

Strengths

• High spatial resolution with a ground sample distance of 0.50 meters per pixel.
• Orthorectified processing corrects geometric distortions for accurate spatial analysis.
• Associated .jpg browse graphics provide quick visual reference.

Limitations

• Limited temporal coverage from a single acquisition period in March 2010.
• No metadata on sample data, file size, or row/column counts is available.
• Data format specifics beyond .tif, .his, and .jpg are unknown.
