Photogrammetric scans of aerial photographs of North American glaciers, 1991. Roll 3 tiffs - Fiducials

Introduction: Between 1958 and 1999, Austin Post led the USGS collection of aerial imagery of North American glaciers. These images are primarily vertical stereo black and white images, although single oblique images, as well as color images have been collected. The glaciers of North America were the subjects, and the digital products made available here serve to document the changes that have occurred to the glaciers over the past 5 decades. The purpose of this project is to preserve the data contained within these film images in a digital format for future analysis of North American glacier change. File Layout: 1. The first level contains an overall data set of image metadata from 1964 - 1997 (nagapData.csv) and an R script (searchData.R) with instructions on how to search and subset the data. fileLayout.pdf shows the file structure and folder contents visually. There are also three kml files with flight path information by decade. 2. The second level is the year in which the pictures were taken. There are 32 years with images from 1964 – 1997. The majority of these folders are jpegs with notes provided by Austin Post. They also contain a year-specific csv (YYYY.csv) that contains image metadata for the entire year (date, roll numbers, location name, longitude, latitude, altitude, media, and comments). The overall data set (nagapData.csv) is the aggregate of each individual “YYYY.csv” file. 3. The glacier photos are located at the third level (this level). The folders at this level are distinguished by camera roll number (1, 2, etc.), and image type (thumbnail, jpeg, or tif); some also contain fiducial and oblique image folders. This level primarily contains image files of aerial photos as either thumbnails, jpegs, or tifs. It also includes a csv with image metadata specific to each roll (date, roll numbers, location name, longitude, latitude, altitude, media, and comments), a text file (info.txt) with camera specifications unique to each image, and a text file (histo.txt or matchReport.txt) with color information and scanner specifications unique to each image.引言：1958年至1999年间，奥斯汀·波斯特（Austin Post）主持了美国地质调查局(USGS)的北美冰川航空影像采集工作。本次采集的影像以垂直立体黑白影像为主，同时也涵盖单张倾斜影像与彩色影像。数据集的拍摄主体为北美冰川，本平台提供的数字化产品旨在记录近50年来北美冰川发生的变化。本项目的核心目标是将这些胶片影像中的数据以数字化形式保存，以供未来开展北美冰川变化相关研究分析使用。 文件结构说明： 1. 第一层级包含1964年至1997年的数据集整体影像元数据文件（nagapData.csv），以及一份用于指导数据检索与子集提取的R脚本（searchData.R）。fileLayout.pdf以可视化形式展示了整体文件结构与文件夹内容。此外还有三个按年代划分飞行路径信息的KML（Keyhole标记语言）文件。 2. 第二层级为影像拍摄年份。本次数据集涵盖1964年至1997年共32个年份的影像数据。大部分文件夹内包含由奥斯汀·波斯特标注说明的JPEG影像，同时还包含一份对应年份的CSV文件（YYYY.csv，其中YYYY为具体拍摄年份），其中存储了该年度全部影像的元数据，包括拍摄日期、胶卷编号、地点名称、经度、纬度、海拔、介质类型及备注信息。整体数据集文件nagapData.csv即由各单个“YYYY.csv”文件聚合而成。 3. 第三层级为冰川影像的存储目录。该层级的文件夹按相机胶卷编号（1、2等）与影像类型（缩略图、JPEG或TIFF）进行区分，部分文件夹还包含基准标记影像与倾斜影像子文件夹。该层级主要存储各类航空影像文件，格式包括缩略图、JPEG及TIFF。此外还包含一份针对每个胶卷的专属影像元数据CSV文件，内容涵盖拍摄日期、胶卷编号、地点名称、经度、纬度、海拔、介质类型及备注信息；一个名为info.txt的文本文件，存储对应影像的专属相机规格参数；以及一个名为histo.txt或matchReport.txt的文本文件，存储对应影像的色彩信息与扫描仪专属规格参数。
