Abstract:
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), as part of the National Assessment of Coastal Change Hazards project, conducts baseline and storm-response photography missions to document and understand the changes in vulnerability of the Nation's coasts to extreme storms. On August 31, 2005, the USGS conducted an oblique aerial photographic survey from Panama City, Florida, to Lakeshore, Mississippi, and the Chandeleur Islands, Louisiana, aboard a Piper Navajo Chieftain aircraft at an altitude of 500 feet (ft) and approximately 1,000 ft offshore (figure 2, http://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/1033/html/ds1033_fig2.html). This mission was conducted to collect data for assessing incremental changes in the beach and nearshore area since the last survey, flown in July 2001 (http://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fan=01ACH02) (unpublished), and the data can be used to assess future coastal change. The photographs provided are Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) images. The photograph locations are an estimate of the position of the aircraft and do not indicate the location of the feature in the images (See the Navigation Data page, http://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/1033/html/ds1033_nav.html). These photographs document the configuration of the barrier islands and other coastal features at the time of the survey. ExifTool was used to add the following to the header of each photo: time of collection, Global Positioning System (GPS) latitude, GPS longitude, keywords, credit, artist (photographer), caption, copyright, and contact information. Photographs can be opened directly with any JPEG-compatible image viewer by clicking on a thumbnail on the contact sheet. All image times are recorded in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). Table 1 (http://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/1033/html/ds1033_table.html) provides detailed information about the assigned location, name, date, and time the photograph was taken along with links to the photograph. In addition to the photographs, a Google Earth Keyhole Markup Language (KML) file is provided and can be used to view the images by clicking on the marker and then clicking on either the thumbnail or the link above the thumbnail. The KML files were created using the photographic navigation files. Note: A KML number was assigned to each photograph to aid navigation of the Google Earth file. These numbers correspond to the site labels in Google Earth.
Purpose:
To provide access to digital photographs taken as part of the August 31, 2005, Post-Hurricane Katrina oblique aerial survey collected along the coast, from Panama City, Florida, to Lakeshore, Mississippi, and the Chandeleur Islands, Louisiana, and to provide access to attribute data that documents the time and location of where each photograph was taken.

Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
An attempt was made to set the cameras to UTC time on the GPS receivers at the beginning of each flight. The clock of the Compix Titler unit was also set to UTC at the same time. Human error during transcription of geographic position and time from the video is possible; however, no obvious errors were observed. Latitude, longitude, and time were linearly interpolated from known navigation (collected once every 30 seconds) and time stamps (collected once every minute). NOTE: Latitude and longitude positions in this report refer to the position of the aircraft, not the position of the landmarks photographed. Refer to the Process Steps below for more detail.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
Data presented here include the digitally scanned analog and digitally collected photographs in JPEG format with the Exchangeable Image File (EXIF) header embedded with the individual photograph's location along the flight path of the Post-Hurricane Katrina coastal oblique aerial photographic survey of the coast, from Panama City, Florida, to Lakeshore, Mississippi, and the Chandeleur Islands, Louisiana. This mission was flown on August 31, 2005, aboard a Piper Navajo Chieftain, tail number N2KK. Crew members of the USGS in St. Petersburg, Fla., included Karen L. M. Morgan, M. Dennis Krohn, Phillip Thompson, and Nancy Dewitt, and pilot Paul Plenarski of Bay Air Charters, Inc. Still photography was collected along the coast during this survey. GPS Data Collection: Instrument: Trimble Centurion and Rockwell Collins Precision Lightweight Global Positioning System Receiver (PLGR), Data Collection Interval: 30 Seconds, Data File Format: Text, Number of files created: 1, Trimble data: recorded on video tape, PLGR data: text file, Computer/Software Used: none.

Process_Description:
Image Acquisition: Photographs were taken with two Nikon F3 cameras, each with a fixed 50-millimeter lens and a Skylight filter. One camera shot the odd-numbered film rolls, and the other camera shot the even-numbered rolls. Both cameras were equipped with a Nikon MF-14 data back. Rolls were numbered by hand in the air. Film used was Kodak Ektachrome E100G. Commonly used shutter speeds were 1/250 seconds or 1/125 seconds. A constant shutter speed was attempted but may have veried if there was a noticeable change in light levels. The f-stop was changed to compensate for changes in light levels. The Nikon MF-14 data back added day of the month, hour, and minute (UTC) to the lower right-hand corner of the photo. All photographs were taken from the second-to-last rear starboard window of the airplane. Independent of all other equipment, a Rockwell Collins PLGR GPS recorded navigation fixes, at a 30-second interval, acquired from a National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) string during the flight. A Compix Titler unit provided video subtitles that include latitude, longitude, and time (Hour:Minute:Second). Navigation was provided to the video by a Trimble Centurion GPS receiver, and time was provided by the titler unit's internal clock, which had been synchronized with UTC time. This camera's images are denoted by "r###s##" in the filename. The images are labeled with the following filename format: yyyy_mmdd_r###s##.jpg, where yyyy denotes the year, mmdd denotes the month and day, r### is the roll number, and s## is the slide number of the image. For example, image 2005_0831_r001s03.jpg was taken August 31, 2005, the first roll of the flight, the third slide. Photographs were also taken using a Nikon D1X camera. Image size is approximately 6 megapixels. Photographer: Karen L.M. Morgan. This camera's images are denoted by a "d" in the filename. The images are labeled with the following filename format: yyyy_mmdd_hhmmss.jpg, where yyyy denotes the year, mmdd denotes the month and day, and hhmmss hour, minutes, and second of the image. For example, image 2005_0831_164000d.jpg was taken August 31, 2005, at 16:40:00 UTC. The video and still photography were shot out of the rear starboard windows of the airplane.

Process_Description:
Slide Scanning and Processing: Slides were scanned using a Nikon Super CoolScan 5000 scanner and Nikon Scan 4 software. The slides were scanned using Digital Image Correction and Enhancement (ICE) technology at a resolution of 3000 dots per inch (DPI) and files were saved as 18.6-megabyte TIFF images. The TIFF images were then converted to JPEG images at a resolution of 3,000 DPI using Adobe Photoshop CS6. ICE technology automatically removes artifacts, such as dust and scratches from scanned images. Only JPEG images are included in this report. The photograph names provide information about the photograph's year, date, roll number, and slide number. For example, slide 2005_0831_r030s01 was taken August 31, 2005, and is the first slide for roll 30. Slide names (year_monthday_roll number_slide number) and time (hour, minute) were manually entered into a Microsoft Excel 2011 spreadsheet. A Nikon MF-14 data back marked the time each photograph was acquired on the lower right corner of the image in day, hour, and minute format. It is assumed, for the purposes of location, that the photographs were taken at a constant rate during any given minute of flight. To assign a time value in seconds to each photograph, the number of photographs taken during each minute was evenly distributed across those 60 seconds. For example: if 15 photographs were taken during minute 19:00, we assume that a picture was taken every 4 seconds. The photographs were then assigned the time values 19:00, 19:04, 19:08, and so on. It should be noted that the positions assigned to each photograph are an estimate of the aircraft position, not the location of the landmark photographed.
