- Abstract:
-
This metadata is for the vegetation and land-use geo-spatial database for Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument and surrounding areas. The project is authorized as part of the USGS/NPS Vegetation Mapping Program. The program is being administered by the Biological Resources Discipline (BRD), United States Geological Survey (USGS). The USGS/BRD is responsible for overall management and oversight of all ongoing mapping efforts. This mapping effort was performed by the US Bureau of Reclamation's (USBR) Remote Sensing and GIS Group, Technical Service Center, Denver, CO and the USGS Colorado Plateau Research Station, Flagstaff, AZ. The vegetation mapping program is part of a larger Inventory and Monitoring (I&M) program started by the National Park Service (NPS).
- Purpose:
-
The purposes of the mapping effort are varied and include the following: Provides support for NPS Resources Management; Promotes vegetation-related research for both NPS and USGS/BRD; Provides support for NPS Planning and Compliance; Adds to the information base for NPS Interpretation; and Assists in NPS Operations. The NPS I&M goals are, among others, to map the vegetation of all national parks and monuments and provide a baseline inventory of vegetation.

- Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
-
These data have overall accuracy using the acceptable criteria of 70.3 % (68.0 % Kappa Index) within a 90% confidence interval of 69.0 to 84.0 % and a Kappa Index of 68.0%.
- Logical_Consistency_Report:
-
All polygon features were checked for topology, existence of label points, and label point uniqueness. The labels were checked for correct and complete attributing. All nodes where checked for unintentional lines and to ensure that the polygons were closed. All steps preformed using ESRI ArcInfo commands.
- Completeness_Report:
-
All data that could be interpreted from the aerial photos were digitized in accordance with the minimum mapping unit (MMU) of 1/2 hectare. This included selected features that fell into the National Vegetation Classification and the Anderson Level II land use classification. Some classes below the MMU were included, especially those at the edge of the study area (i.e. cut off by other features and borders) and unique features. Roads (to visible right-of-way or fence line) and unique features wider than 10 meters were digitized as polygons and attributed accordingly.

- Process_Description:
-
PHOTO INTERPRETATION: All map classes were interpreted from 1:12,000 scale, color infra-red photography flown in October 1996. The photographs were acquired from the USGS/NPS mapping program. Photo-interpretation used the standard identification features such as tone, texture, color, pattern, topographic position, and shadow. In addition, field sample locations and their vegetation descriptions aided in assigning map classes to each polygon. Photographs were examined using a stereoscope as needed. Linework was created on semi-clear mylars placed over the photos.
GIS PROCEDURES: The linework on the mylar overlays was transferred into the GIS database by one of two methods, either heads-up digitizing or scanning. METHOD I: Heads-up digitizing is a procedure whereby the operator digitizes by hand on a computer terminal screen showing a digital image of a DOQQ. By looking at similar features on both the aerial photograph and on the DOQQ, the line drawn on the aerial photo overlay is manually transferred to the digital image. METHOD II: Most of SUCR was transferred by digitally scanning the mylar overlays, vectorizing the scanned images, and fitting the resulting linework to corresponding DOQQs using known control points. Extensive cleaning, edge matching, and general editing of the digital vectors was completed before polygon topology was created. Labels were created for each polygon and they were attributed with the necessary vegetation information. The entire transfer and editing sequence was automated via in-house ArcInfo AML programs. The final vegetation coverage consists of vegetation polygons.
