Quality Topographic features in the Heard Island, Laurens Peninsula, Coastal Area were mapped by a photogrammetrist from the ortho-rectified image mosaic described in photo_mosaic_laurens_or. The features were mapped using Erdas 8.7 and ArcView 8.3. The photography only covered coastal regions. Photography was taken using a non-metric camera and the data was rectified using GPS ground control and a ... View entire text
