Digital image mosaics of the nearshore coastal waters of Kukio on the Island of Hawai'i generated using aerial photographs and SHOALS airborne lidar bathymetry data

This portion of the data release contains an image mosaic of the Kukio area on the west 'Kona' coast of the island of Hawai'i. This image mosaic was generated using digitized 1:24K natural color photographs collected in June 2000 by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Ocean Service (NOS). Two versions of the image mosaic are available--one with and one without a lidar bathymetry shaded-relief image digitally combined with the aerial photography mosaic results. The shaded-relief image was derived using airborne SHOALS (Scanning Hydrographic Operational Lidar Survey) lidar (LIght Detection And Ranging) data collected for the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) by the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers (USACE) in April 1999. Also available is a lower-resolution 'browse' graphic of the image mosaic and associated metadata.

本次发布的数据子集包含夏威夷岛西部“科纳”（Kona）海岸库基奥（Kukio）区域的影像镶嵌图。该影像镶嵌图由美国国家海洋和大气管理局（National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, NOAA）下属国家海洋服务局（National Ocean Service, NOS）于2000年6月采集的数字化1:24000天然彩色照片生成。本次提供两款影像镶嵌图版本：一款将激光雷达测深（lidar bathymetry）晕渲影像与航空摄影镶嵌结果进行数字化融合，另一款则未进行该融合操作。该晕渲影像由美国陆军工程兵团（U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, USACE）于1999年4月为美国地质调查局（U.S. Geological Survey, USGS）采集的机载SHOALS（扫描水文作业激光雷达测量系统，Scanning Hydrographic Operational Lidar Survey）激光雷达（激光探测与测距，LIght Detection And Ranging）数据生成。同时还提供该影像镶嵌图的低分辨率浏览图形文件及相关元数据。
