The images are for the sole use of the U.S. Government in its studies and publications (not for commercial use). An individual flight mission will typically cover one or two neighboring coastal inlet or river mouths and jetties along the Texas coast. Often a low altitude (approximately 1 inch = 1,500 ft) and a higher altitude (approximately 1 inch = 3,000 ft) photograph will be taken for the same location on the same mission. The camera employed shall be large format color digital with nominal 600 to 1,200 dots per inch (DPI) and greater than 36 Megapixel. Images shall be rectified and geo-referenced. Typically, the horizontal coordinate system (map projection) is Universal Transverse Mercator. Through comparison with State of Texas or other Digital Ortho Quarter Quads, rectification shall be about 2.5-m accuracy at the center of the image. The color image shall be supplied digitally on a CD in TIFF file format, together with a World TIFF (TFW) metadata file. Digital images are expected to exceed 100 MB size. Metadata shall be provided on the approximate scale, date, and time of flight.
