Gulf Of Mexico Aerial Imagery


The U.S. Geological Survey acquired true color digital video imagery during the summer and fall of 2008 along the northern coast of the Gulf of Mexico. The images were acquired at an oblique angle by a Cessna 185 amphibious airplane at an altitude of 500 to 2000 feet, and are provided via a Google Map interface. Each image is a still capture taken from video obtained using two Sony HVR-A1U HDV camcorders. One image still was extracted every 2 seconds from the video.
