Ruhser, J., and Finley, B.C., 2023, 2021 Spunky Bottoms Preserve 4-Band Mosaic: U.S. Geological Survey data release, https://doi.org/10.5066/P9TOKRNJ.
Summary
This mosaic was created using high-resolution aerial imagery collected on September 15, 2021 with a Phase One iXU-RS 1000 4-band aerial camera system (RGB and achromatic). The raw image files from the two cameras were combined to create 4-band imagery. The mission was flown at approximately 1,200 meters above ground level resulting in a ground sample distance of 0.15 meters/pixel (6 inches/pixel). The area of interest is the Spunky Bottoms Preserve in Illinois and the mosaic is for the purpose of habitat monitoring. 4-band imagery allows for displaying the image as either True Color (RGB) or Color Infrared (CIR). To display the mosaic as RGB the Red channel should be set to Band 1, the Green channel to Band 2 and the Blue channel to [...]

To display the mosaic as RGB the Red channel should be set to Band 1, the Green channel to Band 2 and the Blue channel to Band 3. To display the mosaic as CIR the Red channel display should be set to Band 4, the Green channel to Band 1, and the Blue Channel to Band 2.
This dataset was produced to give a basic overview of the area of interest and is intended to be used only as a spatial reference for resource grade applications and not for legal purposes.
