Abstract:
Connecticut 1965 Aerial Photo Center Point Index is a photo index for the 1965 Aerial Survey of Connecticut with approximate center point locations for each 1965 aerial photograph. Attributes for each point feature include flight line, photo number, and index map sheet number information. The Connecticut 1965 Aerial Survey is a set of non-rectified black and white aerial photo prints that may be used for stereoscopic viewing. Individual photo prints from the Connecticut 1965 Aerial Photography Survey are available from State Archives at the Connecticut State Library, 231 Capitol Avenue, Hartford, Connecticut 06106. Dates of the photography are March and April 1965. Map scale of photography is approximately 1:18,000 (1 inch = 1,500 feet). Size of prints is 9 inches x 9 inches.  Photo index sheets printed at 1:63,360 scale. The non-rectified photos are also available in image format from the Connecticut State Library. The images are not geo-referenced or orthorectified.
Purpose:
Use this photo index to identify 1965 aerial photos by flight line and photo number on file at the Connecticut State Library, 231 Capitol Avenue, Hartford, Connecticut 06106.

+ Data Structure and Attribute Information
Overview
Summary of the information content of the data, including other references to complete descriptions of entity types, attributes, and attribute values for the data.
Entity and attribute overview:
The PHOT0_NO, FLIGHTLINE, and SHEET_NO attributes uniquely identify the photo, the plane flight path, and the index map sheet number that the upper left corner of the photo apears on.

Note a series of 19 photos exists between flight lines 38 and 39. The compiler attributed these photos wit FLIGHTLINE values encode as 0 (zero) because a flight line number for these photos was not depicted on the index map sheet. It appears these photos were taken to fill in a section not covered by flight lines 38 and 89.
Entity and attribute detailed citation:
No other description of the entity types, attributes, and attribute values for the data set are known to exist.
Direct spatial reference method: Vector
Indirect spatial reference method: The combination (concatination) of FLIGHTLINE and PHOTO_NO attribute values (e.g. 1 and 292) uniquely identifies a point feature representing the center location of the photograph.

Process step information
Process Step 1
Process description:
Create Digital Index Maps - Scanned the printed index maps at a 2 color (black and white) 1 bit per pixel, 400 dpi resolution in TIFF format (in order to reduce the cost of scanning and limit image file size). Each scanned image was subsequently georeferenced to 1990 digital orthophotos using 3 to 4 control points. Related to the unknown horizontal accuracy of the individual photos upon which each index map is based (the original photos are not in digital format and not individually georeferenced), the horizontal accuracy of the resulting georeferenced index image images was relatively poor, yet deemed adequate for digitizing the approximate upper left corner locations of the individual photos that appeared on each index. The upper left corners for 3,200 photos are shown on the 20 digital index maps.

Process Step 2
Process description:
Digitize Photo Index Upper Left Corner Point Features - Using ESRI ArcGIS software, point features were manually digitized at the location of the upper left corner of each photo in each of 20 digital photo index images. The photo's flight line and photo number appeared in the upper left corner of each photo, making it possible to digitize the corner location and simultaneously encode the corresponding attribute information identifying the photo. Approximately 3,2000 point features were digitized. Point features were digitized on the screen at display scales greater than 1:24,000. Feature location and attribute accuracy was visually checked and inspected by symbolizing and labeling features according to their flight line, photo number and index sheet number attribute values on the computer screen.

Process Step 3
Process description:
Convert Photo Index Upper Left Corner Point Features to Center Point Features - Using ESRI ArcGIS software, the Upper Left corner point feature class was copied to a feature class named Photo_Index_1965_Center. With the digital index map images displayed in the background as a reference, all point features in the Photo_Index_1965_Center feature class were selected and moved (shifted) to their center point locations by the compiler focusing attention on the repositioning of just one of the points. All points were moved relative to the repositioning of the  that one chosen point. The used as the basis for repositioning all points was chosen because it was for a photo tile whose center was clearly visible on the index. Note most photos overlap each other on the index maps, making it difficult to individually ascertain their centers. Photo tiles usually only seen in their entirety along one edge or in the corner of an index map. In sum, the center point feature class was created by moving all upper left corner center point features approximately 5,000 feet to the right (east) and 5,800 feet down (south). Spot check comparisons of the resulting center point locations to the centers of the corresponding photo prints suggests they are positioned within 500 to 1,500 feet of their true location.

Description: This metadata is displayed using the FGDC Plus Stylesheet, which is an XSL template that can be used with ArcGIS software to display metadata. It displays metadata elements defined in the Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM) - aka FGDC Standard, the ESRI Profile of CSDGM, the Biological Data Profile of CSDGM, and the Shoreline Data Profile of CSDGM. CSDGM is the US Federal Metadata standard. The Federal Geographic Data Committee originally adopted the CSDGM in 1994 and revised it in 1998. According to Executive Order 12096 all Federal agencies are ordered to use this standard to document geospatial data created as of January, 1995. The standard is often referred to as the FGDC Metadata Standard and has been implemented beyond the federal level with State and local governments adopting the metadata standard as well. The Biological Data Profile broadens the application of the CSDGM so that it is more easily applied to biological data that are not explicitly geographic (laboratory results, field notes, specimen collections, research reports) but can be associated with a geographic location. Includes taxonomical vocabulary. The Shoreline Data Profile addresses variability in the definition and mapping of shorelines by providing a standardized set of terms and data elements required to support metadata for shoreline and coastal data sets. The FGDC Plus Stylesheet includes the Dublin Core Metadata Element Set. It supports W3C DOM compatible browsers such as IE7, IE6, Netscape 7, and Mozilla Firefox. It is in the public domain and may be freely used, modified, and redistributed. It is provided "AS-IS" without warranty or technical support.
