2018 Emiquon and Spunky Bottoms Preserves, 4-Band Mosaics

This mosaic was created using high-resolution aerial imagery collected on September 14, 2018 with a Phase One iXU-R 180 aerial camera co-mounted with a Phase One iXU-RS 160 Achromatic camera. The raw image files from the two cameras are combined to create 4-band imagery. The mission was flown at approximately 1,2000 meters above ground level resulting in a ground sample distance of 0.15 meters/pixel (6 inches/pixel). The area of interest is the Spunky Bottoms Preserve and the mosaic is for the purpose of habitat monitoring. 4-band imagery allows for displaying the image as either True Color (RGB) or Color Infrared (CIR). To display the mosaic as RGB the Red channel is Band 1, the Green channel is Band 2 and the Blue channel is Band 3. To display the mosaic as CIR the Red channel display should be set to Band 4, the Green channel to Band 1, and the Blue Channel to Band 2.
