Philadelphia, PA. The original photography used for this project consisted of approximately 1,664 - 9” X 9” photographs produced using standard airborne photogrammetric techniques between March 15 and March 18, 1992. Actual dates along with a photo identification number were imprinted on each of the photographs. Approximately every other image was used to create the 1992 indexes, utilizing 832 images. Scanning of the original photopositive images was done under contract with equipment provided and operated by consultants at the Statewide Planning Offices in Providence in November of 2000. Reduction of the scanned product to TIF image file format, and compression to MrSID images was completed at the consultants’ facilities in Billerica, Massachusetts and Silver Spring, MD. Individual prints were scanned on flat bed scanners using commercially available software and microcomputers with MSWindow operating systems. The scanning rate selected was 400 dots per inch (dpi) with 8 bit gray (standard) and software default settings selected. Resulting scanned images were saved to Tagged Image File (tif) format. The tif images were then compressed at a 5:1 ratio with LizardTech MrSID Geospatial Encoder 1.4 and saved with file names corresponding to the same photo numbers imprinted on the photos. In addition, 115 photopositive images numbered 5_1096/1104/1106, 7_1268, 9_156/1296/1302, 11_463/488, 12_368/388, 16_1801, 17_1695-1723/1739/1761/1762, 18_1545-1577, 19_1657-1687, 20_1511-1539, 21_777-803, 22_745-771, 23_905-933, 24_897/899, 25_1465, 26_1377, 27_1352, 34_69/89, 37_973/975 were scanned and compressed by the GIS intern at the Statewide Planning Office in March 2003. Indexing and transfer of data to CDROM media was conducted at the Rhode Island Department of Administration, Statewide Planning Program by state employees in February & March 2003.
