Description:
Abstract:
Survey of the southeastern Hawaiian Ridge was the fifth major segment of the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) mapping program to have been initiated. Data acquisition for this region required approximately one-half year and were acquired during eight cruises over a four year period from 1986 through 1989, skipping 1987. At the conclusion of the survey a total of 29 mosaics of 50-meter resolution were completed for the region. As in earlier EEZ reconnaissance surveys, the USGS utilized the GLORIA (Geological LOng-Range Inclined Asdic) sidescan-sonar system to complete the geologic mapping. The collected GLORIA data were processed and digitally mosaicked to produce continuous imagery of the sea-floor. A total of 29 digital mosaics of a 2 degree by 2 degree area and 2 mosaics of 2.25 degree by 2 degree with a 50-meter pixel resolution were completed for the region.
Purpose:
This remote sensing image of the sea-floor is a reduced-resolution (250-meter) composite mosaic of the 29 mosaics created from the Hawaii I - Southeastern Hawaiian Ridge U.S. EEZ GLORIA sidescan-sonar data.

An empty PCI database for the full extent of the Hawaii I - Southeastern Hawaiian Ridge U.S. EEZ GLORIA was defined. The imagery database was defined with a Lambert Conic Conformal (LCC) projection at a resolution of 250-meters. Standard parallels of 18 and 29 and a central longitude of -160 were selected with a WGS84 spheroid/datum.

Process_Description:
Using the PCI Geomatics tool GCPworks, the 29 individual 50-meter mosaics were combined to create a composite overview of the Hawaii I - Southeastern Hawaiian Ridge U.S. EEZ GLORIA data at a resolution of 250-meters. The individual full-resolution GLORIA mosaics with the white flood-filled background were mosaiced together to create a single reduced-resolution composite mosaic for the Hawaii I - Southeastern Hawaiian Ridge U.S. EEZ. Individual mosaics were "dropped" into the composite database. No rubber sheeting or geometric corrections were applied to the mosaics. However, some mosaics were radiometrically enhanced to reduce the effect of the individual square boundaries and produce a more uniform overview image. The individual 29 mosaics were combined using a bi-linear resampling mode to reduce noise and blockiness.
