IKONOS Image (Pan-Shapened, False Natural Color), Baltimore City

False natural color pan-sharpened 4-band IKONOS satellite imagery for Baltimore City acquired on 02 Oct 2001. In this false natural color image the NIR, red, and green bands were used to create an image that approximates natural color yet is more asthetically appealing. Display R-G-B as 1-2-3. The advantage is that vegetation appears more green, but developed features may have a hint of purple. The composite pan-sharpened image was created by merging adjacent IKONOS multispectral (4m) and panchromatic (1m), color balancing them, then running a pan-sharpending algorithem specifically designed for 11-bit IKONOS imagery. Following pan-sharpening a natural color algorithm was run to create the 3-band false natural color image. Refer to the enclosed documentation for the Space Imaging metadata. This is part of a collection of 221 Baltimore Ecosystem Study metadata records that point to a geodatabase. The geodatabase is available online and is considerably large. Upon request, and under certain arrangements, it can be shipped on media, such as a usb hard drive. The geodatabase is roughly 51.4 Gb in size, consisting of 4,914 files in 160 folders. Although this metadata record and the others like it are not rich with attributes, it is nonetheless made available because the data that it represents could be indeed useful.
