GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
This data set is a digital orthophoto image (DOI) over the Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD) Area. This dataset is comprised of natural color 24-bit (red, green, and blue bands) DOI cells at a 1-foot pixel resolution, based on the District tile system. This dataset was created from source imagery acquired through the Leica ADS40/ADS51 multispectral scanners during January 10 through March 14 2008.

USER NOTES:
SWFWMD QC
The imagery data layer stored in the District's enterprise database is opened 
in ArcMap.  The District's LiDAR project grid is also added.  The imagery is 
scanned at 1:6,000 looking at each LiDAR grid cell individually.  If a problem 
is found, then a point shapefile is created and a point in the location of the 
problem is added.  Comments are added to the shapefile in an attribute field 
about the problem and a bitmap is created displaying the area with the problem.  
Each bitmap includes: comments added to the shapefile, grid cell number, date, 
initials of the QC staff, and whether the image is drawn to the full extent.  The 
overall color balance between cutlines over land, offsets over 8 feet, missing 
data, anomalies, and overall color balance.

The Florida Geographic Data Library is a collection of Geospatial Data
compiled by the University of Florida GeoPlan Center with support from
the Florida Department of Transportation. GIS data available in FGDL is
collected from various state, federal, and other agencies (data sources)
who are data stewards, producers, or publishers. The data available in
FGDL may not be the most current version of the data offered by the
data source. University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no guarantees
about the currentness of the data and suggests that data users check
with the data source to see if more recent versions of the data exist.

Furthermore, the GIS data available in the FGDL are provided 'as is'.
The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no warranties, guaranties
or representations as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the data
provided by the data sources. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center
makes no representations or warranties about the quality or suitability
of the materials, either expressly or implied, including but not limited
to any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular
purpose, or non-infringement. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center
shall not be liable for any damages suffered as a result of using,
modifying, contributing or distributing the materials.

A note about data scale: 

Scale is an important factor in data usage.  Certain scale datasets
are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes.
Please be sure you are using the best available data. 

1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
county level.
1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such
as property parcel boundaries.
1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
multi-county or regional level.
1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
regional or state level or larger.

Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be
considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data
before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been
made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional
information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact
section of this documentation. For more information regarding
scale and accuracy, see our webpage at:

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:
The imagery was acquired in 2008 (see FY2008 Digital Orthophoto Project 
(B089) Cutlines shapefile for a listing of imagery and acquisition dates) using 
the Leica ADS40 and ADS51 multispectral scanner.  The fundamental resolution 
of the imagery was 0.9-feet over the approximate project area.  

The Leica ADS40 Airborne Digital Sensor delivers all digital, 12-bit data 
with the swath width and coverage area of a traditional film camera with 
up to 5-centimeter spatial resolution.  The sensor is capable of simultaneous 
acquisition of seven bands of information: three panchromatic CCD lines 
capture information in views forward, nadir and backward from the aircraft, 
while four multispectral lines capture data in the near-infrared band. 

Th ADS40 utilizes the Applanix POSAV direct positioning and orientation 
system that is based on airborne GPS and inertial measurement unit (IMU) 
technology.  POSAV data were reduced using the Applanix POSPAC Air 
software package (V4.3).  All of the source imagery was processed using 
the Leica GPRO (V3.2) software package.  This package provides the 
capability to perform digital mage processing, aerial triangulation and image 
rectification.  The rectified strips of imagery were then mosaicked together 
to form a seamless base map over the Project area using the OrthoVista 
software (version 4.1.1) by Inpho GmbH.  Image tiles were then extracted 
using the I/RASC software package (version 8.04.00) by Z/I Imaging.

The GeoTIFFs were compressed to MrSids by SWFWMD using LizardTech 
GeoExpress 7 at a target ratio of 20:1.
