Aerial photography flown for the Australian Antarctic Division from CASA 212-400 aircraft, 2010-11

Digital aerial photography was flown by a contractor for the Australian Antarctic Division (AAD) from CASA 212-400 aircraft during the 2010-11 season. Photographs were taken for various projects or needs:Whales project requested by Natalie Kelly (Science Branch AAD and CSIRO); Cronk Islands, Knox Coast, Wilkes Coast - requested by Colin Southwell (Science Branch AAD, AAS project 2722) - the coverage also includes Bailey Peninsula and part of Clark Peninsula; Frazier Islands - requested by Ian Hay (Strategies Branch AAD, AAS project 3154); Aurora Basin - taken on the return flight from Dome C to Casey of Aurora Basin GC41 position 71 degrees 36'10''S, 111 degrees 15'46''E; Wilkins Aerodrome - to photograph runway and melt; Casey, Wilkes - requested by Gill Slocum (Strategies Branch AAD). The photographs were taken between 2 January 2011 and 6 February 2011. In most cases the images were georeferenced in the camera using the aircraft GPS.Vertical photographs were taken with an in floor camera system using a Nikon D200 digital camera and oblique photographs were taken using a handheld Nikon D700 digital camera in the cockpit.The set of images is too big for download but the images are available upon request from the Australian Antarctic Data Centre.Data extracted from the exif information of the images are available for download as csv files and, in some cases, shapefiles. These data include file name, date, camera, focal length, latitude, longitude and altitude.The images of the Cronk Islands and the Frazier Islands can be viewed in the Australian Antarctic Data Centre's Aerial Photograph Catalogue - see a Related URL below. The Film/Digital Series are ANTD1260 (Cronk Islands and Frazier Islands 2 January 2011) and ANTD1261 (Frazier Islands 23 January 2011).

本数据集的航拍影像由澳大利亚南极分部（Australian Antarctic Division, AAD）的承包商于2010-2011航季，搭乘CASA 212-400型航空器拍摄完成。本次航拍服务于多项科研与业务需求：
1. 鲸类研究项目：由娜塔莉·凯利（Natalie Kelly，澳大利亚南极分部科学部与澳大利亚联邦科学与工业研究组织（CSIRO））提出申请；
2. 克朗克群岛、诺克斯海岸、威尔克斯海岸：由科林·绍斯韦尔（Colin Southwell，澳大利亚南极分部科学部，南极科考项目AAS 2722）提出申请，覆盖范围另涵盖贝利半岛与克拉克半岛部分区域；
3. 弗雷泽群岛：由伊恩·海（Ian Hay，澳大利亚南极分部战略部，南极科考项目AAS 3154）提出申请；
4. 极光盆地：拍摄于从穹顶C（Dome C）返回凯西站的航班航程中，对应极光盆地GC41点位坐标为南纬71°36′10″、东经111°15′46″；
5. 威尔金斯机场：用于拍摄跑道与融冰状况；
6. 凯西站、威尔克斯地区：由吉尔·斯洛科姆（Gill Slocum，澳大利亚南极分部战略部）提出申请。

影像拍摄时段为2011年1月2日至2011年2月6日。多数影像通过航空器搭载的GPS实现相机端地理配准。垂直航拍采用机载地板相机系统，搭载尼康D200数码相机；倾斜航拍则采用驾驶舱内手持的尼康D700数码相机完成拍摄。

本数据集影像总量过大，无法直接下载，如有需求可向澳大利亚南极数据中心（Australian Antarctic Data Centre）申请获取。从影像EXIF元数据中提取的配套数据可通过CSV格式文件下载，部分场景还提供SHP格式矢量文件，包含字段包括文件名、拍摄日期、相机型号、焦距、纬度、经度与拍摄海拔。
