The Validation Overflight for Amazon Mosaics (VOAM) aerial video survey was carried out in the Brazilian Amazon in 1999 to provide ground verification for mapping of wetland cover with the Global Rain Forest Mapping (GRFM) Project JERS-1 (Japanese Earth Remote Sensing Satellite) mosaics of the Amazon basin.

 

Here, we provide full access to high-resolution geocoded mosaics derived from the flight.

 

These geocoded mosaics were generated through a suite of software tools developed by the Computer Vision Lab of the Department of Computer Science at the University of Massachusetts, maximizing its usefulness for environmental monitoring applications.
