Full description
This dataset consists of satellite imagery mosaics of Heard Island constructed from Level 2A WorldView-2/3 imagery GeoTIFFs (WGS84, UTM). Mosaics were constructed for panchromatic (30cm resolution), 4-band multispectral (1.2m resolution) and pansharpened (30cm resolution) imagery.List of imagery used:
• WorldView West – 2 March 2017 (1 xWV3) - DigitalGlobe-Maxar image ID: 10400100292FF000
• WorldView Central – 13 January 2019 (1 xWV3) - DigitalGlobe-Maxar image ID: 104001004687BE00
• WorldView East – 13 January 2019 (1 xWV3) - DigitalGlobe-Maxar image ID: 1040010046C48A00
• WorldView South – 10 March 2019 (1 xWV3) - DigitalGlobe-Maxar image ID: 10040010049D0D400
• WorldView HI East Extension - 31 January 2019 (WV3) – Maxar Image ID: 1040010046961700
• WorldView HI Shag Is Extension - 10 March 2019 (WV3) – Maxar Image ID: 104001004A6A5100
• WorldView HI West Extension - 2 March 2017 (WV3) – Maxar Image ID: 10400100292FF000
• WorldView Infill Inc. Azorella Peninsula - 10 March 2019 (WV3) – Maxar Image ID: 1040010049D0D400
Due to the consistent cloud coverage there was no suitable imagery available over the centre of Heard Island (Big Ben) for this time period. This resulted in an area of missing data over the centre of the mosaic. An earlier QuickBird image captured 4 February 2009 (QB_HeardIsland_04Feb09_z43_Multi.tif) can be used to cover this area to complete the mosaic if needed.
The methodology for processing the imagery and constructing the mosaic is outlined in the attached PDF document 'Processing_of_WorldView_2-3_Imagery_Heard_Island'.

PurposeA mosaic of Heard Island imagery was constructed in order to provide coverage of high resolution imagery for a defined period for the island. The imagery mosaic provided detailed information of the island’s topography, hydrology and geological features to enable the development of more accurate spatial data for use in GIS and mapping. Spatial data of Heard Island is necessary in order to provide information to support management, scientific activities and operational planning in the region. It is necessary to update this information periodically to ensure changes that have occurred on Heard Island due to volcanic, geomorphological or other processes since mapping data was last obtained for the region are captured.
