Title: What are DOQ


1
What are DOQ?
  • Digital Orthophotoquad (DOQ) - A raster data
    theme, built from scanned aerial photography,
    rectified and mosaicked to form a planimetrically
    correct map-like product. Used as a base for
    digitizing features, or as a realistic backdrop
    for maps.
  • Aerial photography of the Earth's surface,
    usually provided in GeoTIFF form, but also seen
    in other formats. A DOQ for a 7.5-min.,
    124000-scale quad is huge, thus the common use
    of DOQQs--digital orthophoto quarter quadrangles.
  • is a digital image of an aerial photograph in
    which displacements caused by the camera and the
    terrain have been removed. It combines the image
    characteristics of a photograph with the
    geometric qualities of a map.

What are .e00 files?
  • Data in .E00 is an ARC/INFO interchange file
    format. This is a simple ASCII file which can be
    opened and viewed using any common text editor
    (wordpad, notepad, textpad).

3
What are DEM?
  • Digital Elevation Model (DEM) - Any data theme
    that digitally represents terrain (the shape of
    the earth's surface) the most common structures
    being a raster grid of elevations, and the vector
    triangulated irregular network (TIN).
  • The USGS (United States Geological Survey) DEM
    (Digital Elevation Model) format describes raster
    elevation scans of the Earth's surface
    (essentially a specialized type of heightfield).
  • A digital representation of the elevation of
    locations on the land surface. A DEM is often
    used in reference to a set of elevation values
    representing the elevations at points in a
    rectangular grid on the Earth's surface.

4
Digital Terrain Model (DTM)
  • Digital Terrian Model(DTM) - A three-dimensional
    model of the Earth's surface, provided in digital
    form.
  • A term that describes a variety of digital
    formats for displaying or analyzing elevation
    information. A DEM is one of these formats.

5
Digital Raster Graphics (DRG)?
  • DRG is a scanned image of a US Geological Survey
    (USGS) standard series topographic map, including
    all map collar information. The image inside the
    map neatline is georeferenced to the surface of
    the earth and fit to the Universal Transverse
    Mercator projection.

6
What is Digital Line Graphs (DLG)?
  • A vector file containing points, lines, and/or
    areas that represent roads, water bodies,
    topographic contour lines, public lands, and
    railroads. Each data layer comes in a separate
    file. The DLG format was created by the USGS.
