Description

This data set contains high-resolution imagery taken with the Continuous Airborne Mapping By Optical Translator (CAMBOT) system over Antarctica and Greenland. The data were collected as part of Operation IceBridge funded aircraft survey campaigns.

Version Description

For Version 2, the raw Level-0 JPG images were orthorectified and geolocated to create the GeoTIFF images in this data set. Version 1 data (through 26 April 2013) are still available in JPEG format from the IOCAM1B Version 1 data product.
