Work performed by Erik Hund at the Coastal Services Center (NOAA). 1. The IKONOS images and DEMs of each island were imported into PCI Orthoengine. 2. The IKONOS images were first orthorectified without a DEM using the Rational Functions model, and the resulting image was compared to the DEM. If the shoreline in the DEM matched the orthorectified IKONOS shoreline, then the DEM was considered accurate in the X and Y direction. If the DEM did not match the IKONOS image, then the offset in the X and Y direction was determined and the DEM was adjusted using a program called geoshft_meter.eas, written by Kris Holderied at NOAA NOS in Silver Spring, Maryland. 3. After adjusting the DEM in the X and Y direction, the sea level height of the DEM was determined. If the seas level values were less than zero, the Z values were adjusted up to zero by using the Replace Image Value option under the Utilities menu selection in PCI Orthoengine. 4. The DEMs were then converted from mean sea level heights to ellipsoid heights by selecting the Convert DEM Datum option from the Utilities menu selection. 5. The DEMS were then exported as geotiff files from PCI. 6. All of the DEMs are in the UTM projection, WGS 84 datum. American Samoa is Zone 2 South. Guam and CNMI are Zone 55 North. Image converted to a ArcINFO raster grid and values changed to reflect height above mean sea level by personnel at the Department of Commerce in American Samoa.
