    <descript>
      <abstract>This digital color infrared orthophoto was created by the Center for Remote Sensing and Mapping the Science (CRMS) at The University of Georgia to support the resource management activities of the National Park Service and Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Specifically, CRMS used more than 1000 color infrared aerial photographs taken during late October 1997 and 1998 in order to map polygons of overstory vegetation in Great Smoky Mountains National Park.</abstract>
      <purpose>This dataset was created to assist the CRMS at the Uniiversity of Georgia in mapping vegetation polyogns at Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The intended use of all data in the park's GIS library is to support diverse park activities including planning, management, maintenance, research, and interpretation.</purpose>

        <procdesc>Photos were scanned at a resolution of 600 dpi (42 µm).

Rectification method: Orthorectified using USGS Digital Orthophoto Quarterquads (DOQQ) for ground control and USGS Level 2 Digital Elevation Models (DEM) to correct for relief.

Image files were color balanced to one another, and saved in TIFF format.

For a detailed description of the process used see: Digital Vegetation Maps for the Great Smoky Mountains National Park Final Report, Attachment A.</procdesc>
