This sample shows how aerial photographs and digital scanned maps from different sources,
and reflecting different geographic coordinate systems and scales, can be combined
into a single image mosaic with the use of the Aerial
Imagery Corrector. The mosaic shown here is created from seven aerial image and
scanned map files from three very different sources: i) two recent U.S. Geological
Survey DOQQ aerial photographs, ii) four 1:6112 scale, historical topographical maps
published in 1861 of the territory of the District of Columbia, and iii) a portion
of one 1:62500 scale topographical map of areas just outside of the District of Columbia
that was originally created in 1900 and republished in 1914. The output mosaic presented
here is in the TatukGIS PixelStore format
generated by the AIC, and is being published with the use of the TatukGIS
Internet Server product.
The scanned historical topographical maps used in this sample are maintained in the
Image Archives of the Historical Map & Chart Collection of the Office of Coast
Survey Department of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), which
is a division of the U.S. Commerce Department.
