Description:
Abstract:
GRAND_CALUMET_PHOTO_INDEX is a point shapefile intended for use as a layer in geographic information systems software. Each point represents the approximate location of the center of one of more than 204 aerial photos collected for the northwestern part of Lake County, Indiana, for the following years: 1951, 1958, 1965, 1980, and 1990.
Purpose:
The layer may be used as a reference to determine the availability and ID numbers of specific coastal aerial photo images for the Grand Calumet area, in the northwestern part of Lake County, Indiana. A user can acquire scanned images of the photos from the LakeRim Web site (<http://lakerim.indiana.edu/>).
Supplemental_Information:
The underlying imagery associated with this dataset was developed from a four-volume series of reports produced by the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency, (1991) titled "Northwest Indiana Site Inventory and Landuse/Landcover Study." Volume 1 covers the areas of Whiting and East Chicago. Volume 2 covers the Hammond area. Volume 3 covers the areas of Black Oak and Gary. Volume 4 covers the area of Gary.

The following was excerpted from Table 1 of the four-volume series titled "Northwest Indiana Site Inventory and Landuse/Landcover Study," and contains documentation information of the aerial photography used for the 1951 through 1990 imagery used to create this image catalog:

Native_Data_Set_Environment: ESRI ArcGIS version 9.3 shapefile format, approximately 48 Kb


Data_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
All attributes except values for "Image_Ref" were generated automatically using scripts or tools included in the ESRI software. These attributes are therefore assumed to be correct. The "Image_Ref" field values were entered manually, but checked to ensure continuity.
Logical_Consistency_Report: No checks for logical consistency were made.
Completeness_Report:
This layer includes one point for each image (204 total) included in the four-volume series titled "Northwest Indiana Site Inventory and Landuse/Landcover Study," which contains documentation information of the aerial photography used for the 1951 through 1990 imagery used to create this image catalog.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
The points in the layer represent the center of aerial photo image tiles. The points were generated using the "Feature to Point" tool in ArcGIS and should fall very near the centroid of each georeferenced image tile.
Vertical_Positional_Accuracy:
Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
Vertical positional accuracy was not a factor in the production of this shapefile.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
IGS personnel used an extension for ArcView 3.x called "Image Catalog" to create an image catalog for each year's set of aerial photos. The resulting image catalogs were converted to polygon shapefiles, which consist of polygon features representing the extent of each individual image. These layers were created using a second extension called "Image Catalog 2 Polygon." The attributes XMIN, XMAX, YMIN, YMAX, and Image_no were automatically created during this process. IGS personnel then added a new field to the attribute table of each layer named "Image_Ref," and populated it with sequential numbers for each image from west to east. IGS personnel merged the resulting polygon layers into a single polygon shapefile called GRAND_CALUMET_PHOTO_INDEX_POLY.SHP using the "Merge" tool from ArcToolbox in ESRI ArcGIS. The final layer, GRAND_CALUMET_PHOTO_INDEX.SHP, was created using the "Feature To Point" tool from ArcToolbox in ESRI ArcGIS version 9.3.
