Produced from 37 color infrared photos taken October 22, 2001. Orthorectification accomplished with ERDAS IMAGINE Orthobase v8.5 software. The horizontal RMSE is 0.860 meters. This meets the NMAS Class 1 standards. Purpose: The dataset was developed for Appomattox Court House National Historic Park use in natural resource management.

Horizontal accuracy was assessed on the basis of 37 field survey points distributed throughout the image. The actual field coordinates for these points were recorded with a Trimble ProXRS GPS unit with real-time differential correction with a minimum of 180 fixes per point. The field coordinates were then compared to the image mosaic coordinates for these points, determined in ESRI ArcView 3.3 software.

The photos were scanned at 600 dpi and imported into IMAGINE. The DEMs were resampled from 30 meters to 10 meters in ArcInfo Workstation using cubic convolution and then mosaicked together. If the mosaicked DEMs had gaps, they were then run in ArcInfo Workstation using a focal mean. The images were orthorectified using IMAGINE Orthobase software. Airborne GPS and IMU data were used in the aerial triangulation procedure. Aerial triangulation produced a single RMSE of less than 1 meter for the entire block of photos. The orthorectified images were then mosaiced within IMAGINE to form one seamless basemap image for Appomattox Court House NHP. The mosaic was compressed using MrSID software at a 20:1 target compression ratio.
