*World Bank, GFDRR, RIT, ImageCAT Remote Sensing Mission to Haiti ‐
Status Report ‐ 25 January 2010 *
Another excellent day of imaging for the RIT sensor system. The intent
today was to collect high resolution LIDAR over the fault line. After
completing several lines at the western end of the fault, heavy clouds
moved in. At this point the crew transitioned to the contingency plan of
completing the Leogane area as shown in the Figure.
*Future Flight Plans*
Tomorrow, we will focus on the fault line for the USGS (red area in
Figure 1). 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. We have
moved our operating base to Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic which
greatly enhances our ability to cover Haitian targets.
Additional targets have been assigned to cover damage areas around
Jacmel, Petit Goave, Fermate and Kenscoff. These areas are shown in the
colored boxes in Figure 2. These areas will require one additional day
of flying (Wednesday). The aircraft and crew will then begin their
return to the US Wednesday night. Complete coverage will be contingent
on weather conditions.
*Data Processing and availability*
Data are posted for 1/21 & 1/22; data processing & QC for 1/23 is near
completion. Data from 1/25, 1/26, and 1/27 will be delivered to
Rochester on 1/28 when the aircraft returns.
As we explained yesterday, 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
<ttp://hypercube.telascience.org%22> site. There has been a very high
amount of outgoing server traffic particularly to the USGS. It is
difficult to determine the exact amount of data delivered to these
participants.
The data can be easily viewed at: http://smal.in/haitirit_data
<ttp://smal.in/haitirit_data%22>
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
