PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: Olympic National Park biologists are assessing native fish populations in the South Fork Hoh River through riverscape surveys that spatially map fish species and habitat from the headwaters to the river mouth during summer, 2016. The need is to obtain concurrent 360 degree panoramic camera imagery from a water vessel including water quality (pH, Dissolved Oxygen, water temperature, and sonar data from the South Fork Hoh River. The data and photographs must be collected simultaneously and synchronized with accurate georeferenced location information. This technology, combined with detailed fish and habitat mapping conducted by park fisheries biologists, will create panoramic imagery above and below the water similar to Goggle street-view. The intended use is to provide tools for extracting, indexing, and analyzing data to better understand fish populations and key habitat features in the South Fork Hoh River. Additionally, the information will be disseminated and communicated to the public via a virtual tour of the river. Services must meet following criteria: 1) Continuous surface-level panoramic imagery that is HD resolution or better; 2) Zoom capability that will enable identification of riverine vegetation; 3) Integrated, Geo-Tagged Sub-surface imagery captured simultaneously with surface-level panoramic images; 4) Embedded tools that enable moving up and down the river with sequential image-to-image & rapid navigation from the surface level; 5) Integrated aquatic data access, upload and presentation; 6) Feature tagging that allows Geo-Tagging of fish and habitat; 7) Web-based delivery to desktop and mobile devices, with the ability to present virtually.
