Kite Aerial Photography NIMS grid Barrow, Alaska 2010

Aerial photographs of the Networked Info-Mechanical System (NIMS) grid in Barrow, Alaska were taken using a rig and kite system. As part of the NIMS grid, white boards were nailed into the tundra to act as Ground Control Points (GCPs). The purpose of these boards was to facilitate the visibility of the grid from the aerial photographs, as well as to facilitate georeferencing using ArcMap GIS. Most of the pictures taken are high resolution although only a few are lacking good quality. The photographs are arranged according to flight date. The kite was flown about 2 times a week throughout July and August of summer 2010.

阿拉斯加州巴罗（Barrow）地区网络化信息机械系统（Networked Info-Mechanical System, NIMS）网格的航空影像，通过搭载装置与风筝系统拍摄完成。作为该NIMS网格的组成部分，研究人员将白板钉设于苔原之上，以充当地面控制点（Ground Control Points, GCPs）。此类白板的设置目的，一是提升网格在航空影像中的辨识度，二是便于借助ArcMap地理信息系统（GIS）开展地理配准工作。本次拍摄的影像大多为高分辨率成果，仅少数存在画质不佳的问题。所有航空影像均按飞行日期进行分类整理。2010年夏季的7月至8月期间，该风筝系统约每周执行两次飞行作业。
