Digital image mosaics of the nearshore coastal waters of Kailua-Kona 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 with 1.0 meter-per-pixel resolution of the Kailua-Kona 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”海岸凯卢阿-科纳（Kailua-Kona）区域的影像镶嵌图，其空间分辨率为1.0米每像素。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）下属的国家海洋服务局（National Ocean Service, NOS）于2000年6月采集的数字化1:24000比例尺天然彩色照片生成。本次提供两款影像镶嵌图版本：一款叠加了与航空摄影镶嵌成果经数字化融合的激光雷达（LIght Detection And Ranging, Lidar）测深晕渲影像，另一款则未叠加该晕渲影像。该晕渲影像基于1999年4月由美国陆军工程兵团（U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, USACE）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）激光雷达数据生成。本次发布还附带该影像镶嵌图的低分辨率预览图形及相关元数据。
