Abstract: This project will build a landcover mapping geographic information system (GIS) dataset from manually interpreted color infrared photography delineated under a separate agreement for Kenai Fjords National Park. Results will conform to a minimum national mapping accuracy standard of 1:63,360. This work will require scanning of color infrared photography and mylars with landcover delineations; orthorectification of scanned photography and mylars; vectorization of scanned mylars; compilation of all linework to build a single geodatabase; and attribution of the features in the geodatabase with landcover attributes. An initial pilot study
will be required to assess alternative orthorectification processing strategies.
