WV2 2018

Digital orthoimagery combines the image characteristics of a digital image with the geometric qualities of a map. The primary dynamic digital orthophoto is a 30-50 centimeter ground resolution, image cast to the customer specified projection and datum defined in the Spatial Reference Information section of this metadata document. The overedge is included to facilitate tonal matching for mosaicking and ensure full coverage if the imagery is reprojected. The normal orientation of data is by lines (rows) and samples (columns). Each line contains a series of pixels ordered from west to east with the order of the lines from north to south. DigitalGlobe WorldView-2(WV-2)/WorldView-3(WV-3) Satellite Orthoimagery was delivered to USDA in GeoTIFF file format. The NGCE processed the DigitalGlobe delivered WV-2/WV-3, 8 Band, 8 Bit Pan-Sharpen GeoTIFF files. The file contains eight Multi-Spectral bands. Band 1: Coastal Blue (400 - 450 nm) Band 2: Blue (450 - 510 nm) Band 3: Green (510 - 580 nm) Band 4: Yellow (585 - 625 nm) Band 5: Red (625 - 690 nm) Band 6: Red Edge (705 - 745 nm) Band 7: Color Infrared 1/NIR 1 (770 - 895 nm) Band 8: Color Infrared 2/NIR 2 (860 - 1040 nm). This NGCE created files can consist of Natural Color (Bands 5-3-2), Color Infrared/CIR (Bands 7-5-3) or 8 Multi-Spectral bands (Bands 1-8). DigitalGlobe WV-2/WV-3 Satellite Orthoimagery was delivered to USDA in GeoTIFF file format. The mosaic was created by DigitalGlobe and processed by USDA-NRCS-NGCE. USDA-NRCS-NGCE processed the DigitalGlobe delivered WV-2/WV-3 Multi-Spectral/Pan data bundle to produce an 8 Band, 8 Bit Pan-Sharpen mosaic using ERDAS 2016.
