US Pacific Basin Orthoimagery Availability

Version 3

Version 2

4

- Since the early 1990’s, the Federal Government has worked together to acquire Orthoimagery for the United States via an inter agency coordination committee called NDOP.

- NDOP strives for “one payer, many users” model and too avoid duplication of Imagery purchases.

- NDOP including USDA has advocated new Orthoimagery for Hawaii-US Pacific Basin on a 3-5 year cycle. More frequent updates for areas with land use or environmental/disaster issues.

Hawaii and US Pacific Basin Orthoimagery Acquisition

- USDA-NRCS acquires when possible, Imagery for Hawaii and the US Pacific Basin from DOD-NGA with High Resolution Commercial Satellites.

- USDA-NRCS does acquire Imagery from USDA Satellite contracts if not available from DOD-NGA.

- USDA-NRCS is upgrading the license of all Hawaii/Pacific Basin data distribute to Enterprise Premium.

- Satellite tasking requests are submitted by USDA-NRCS to DigitalGlobe in advance of possible.

- The newest version of Hawaiian Islands was submitted for “speculative” tasking in 2013.

DigitalGlobe can effective combine WorldView 2 and 3 datasets together.

DigitalGlobe WorldView 2 & 3 have the same band layout for the first 8 bands!

- With increased water penetration with the “Coastal Blue” band of WorldView-2 & 3, USDA has requested larger AOI’s for areas with shallow water reefs.

- With increased water penetration with the “Coastal Blue” band of WorldView-2 &3, USDA has requested larger AOI’s to include complete atoll/shallow water areas.

Goal for USDA-NRCS is cloud free Imagery!

Areas with higher rainfall totals (Dark Green to Violet) usually are much difficult to successfully acquire Imagery.

Kauai and Niihau

Kauai Imagery is a combination of WV 2 & 3

The new Maui and Lanai Imagery datasets are some of the best Imagery we have ever acquired!

Hawaii Island PrototypeVersion 3

October 2015

- Over 80% of the Island will be acquired in 2014-2015.

- The areas outlined in orange have updated Imagery.

- East end of island will be post Hurricanes Julio and Iselle.

- Kona and south will be clear for first time on USDA released Imagery.

- North-West end near coast will be nearly cloud free.

Areas with Updated Imagery

SW Hawaii IslandScale 1:1,500

US Pacific Basin Orthoimagery, Version 2• Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands*• Guam• American Samoa• Marshall Islands• Federated States of Micronesia• Palau• Minor Outlying Territories (Palmyra, Wake, Kingman’s Reef etc..)• North West Hawaiian Islands (Available from NOAA)

• All areas above are available starting in late October, 2015.• FSM-Pohnpei and Palau are still tasking along with selective areas of FSM/Marshall Islands• Most Orthoimagery is DG-WV2&3 (.5 Meter GSD, All 8 bands except a few areas in the

Marshall Islands).• Total dataset size is 7 TB. The compressed files (MrSID. ECW) are less than 500GB.• *USDA-NRCS-NGCE upgraded all DOD NextView License to USDA Enterprise Premium. This

action will result in better usage of DOD Imagery and help with any GAO inquires.• ALL HIGICC members can acquire the datasets above.

US Pacific Basin Web Map Services

- USDA-NRCS-NGCE cannot host a public facing Web Map Service for Imagery.

- USDA-NRCS-NGCE has completed Cache Tiles in ESRI-ArcGIS Server for most of the US Pacific Basin such as Guam, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa etc..

- If you are interested in hosting a free Web Map Service for Hawaii and/or the US Pacific Basin, please contact Tony Kimmet.

DigitalGlobe Enterprise Premium License would allow the following.

- Allows USDA to post compressed mosaics on the “Public” side of the USDA Gateway. All users would have access to these datasets. The USDA Gateway is also the compressed raster data distribution portal for Imagery for the Nation (IFTN).

- Allows data to be hosted on a Web Map Service (WMS) available to the General Public if the site does not charge a fee for the service.

- All Federal/State/Local Government, Universities, Non-Profit Organizations and the General Public would be allowed to use DG Satellite data.

DigitalGlobe Enterprise Premium License exclusions.

- DigitalGlobe currently does not offer a “Public Domain” license for DG-QB2/WV2/WV3 data. The Enterprise Premium License is the most open license available from DigitalGlobe.

- The only exclusion in broad terms of the Enterprise Premium License is that DigitalGlobe Imagery data itself could not be re-sold by anyone else (Vendors, Universities etc..). Please refer to Appendix C and D for more information on exclusions to Enterprise Premium.
