World Bank, GFDRR, RIT, ImageCAT Remote Sensing Mission to Haiti ‐ Status Report ‐ 24 January 2010
Another excellent day of imaging for the RIT sensor system. We
completed about half of the Leogane target area.
Figure illustrates the coverage of today's mission shaded in green. We
will proceed to the fault area and collect as much as possible of those
flight lines tomorrow (1/25).
Future Flight Plans
Tomorrow we will focus on the fault line for the USGS (red area). This
collect will be optimized for very high resolution LiDAR (5 pts/m2)
which means operating at an altitude of about 6,500 ft. This will
result in a color camera resolution 30 cm or larger. However, there is
little in the way of populated areas along the fault itself.
It will take 1 more day of flying to complete the Leogane area. In
addition, we are looking at plans to possibly collect additional sites
around Jacmel, Petit Goave, Fermate, and Kenscoff. This will require
one additional day of flying. We are also considering plans for basing
in the Dominican Republic to increase our daily collection efficiency.
Basing in the Dominican Republic will preclude daily upload of
collected data, but result in much more collection per day.
Data publishing
We are trying to disseminate the data as quickly as possible and are
enormously grateful to everyone who is helping with this. Patience is
still needed though. Currently we are trying to get it out through:
Google, Yahoo!, Microsoft, USGS, ERDAS, Virtual Disaster Viewer (VDV)
at University at Buffalo, UN-SPIDER (hosted at RIT) and the very
impressive http://hypercube.telascience.org
site.
The data can be easily viewed at: http://smal.in/haitirit_data
Instructions:
- Expand the "Hi Res Aerials Image" tab on the left
- Check or un-check the three aerial imagery choices under this tab -
RIT's data are displayed as "Worldbank"
- Scroll around the data by "grabbing" the imagery (left-mouse click)
and dragging the mouse around while keep the left mouse button pressed.
- Zoom in and out using the mouse wheel.
- You can view the various type of collects by switching the check
boxes on the left
