10. A : Original Values, 16 Bit B: Radiometric Balance, 16 Bit C: 8 Bit, DRA On D: 8 Bit, DRA Off DRA is the equivalent to applying a Standard Deviation Stench - Total of four different test files for West Maui - All Panchromatic (pan_img_mosaics) and Multi-Spectral mosaics (ms_img_mosaics) have not been color corrected. - Pan Sharpen mosaics were produced using consistent procedure in ERDAS A B C D
30. Summary - If Oahu is approved then we should have all approved Hawaii data (Niihau, Kauai, Oahu, Kahoolawe, Maui, East side of Hawaii/Big Island by ~ end of March, 2011. - Most islands will be delivered when complete approved coverage is available so DigitalGlobe can Radiometric balance the Imagery. Big Island will be in 2-3 pieces. - USDA has been working on Pan-Sharpening techniques. Recently we were able to Pan Sharpen East Side of the Big Island with ERDAS 2011, 64 Bit mode. Kauai is in progress for Pan Sharpening.
