Digital orthophoto image data coverage
Orthophotos are images resulting from the ortho-rectification of aerial photographs based on a terrain model or digital elevation model. The ortho-rectification process aims to remove the effects of aerial camera lens tip and tilt, image scale variations, and object displacements due to ground relief. This is accomplished by reprocessing the photograph to conform to the orthographic projection, hence the name, orthophoto. These digital orthophoto image data tiles are georeferenced and can therefore be used as a backdrop layer in conjunction with other spatial information.
The department has an ongoing program to make available high-resolution orthophoto image data at various resolutions over priority areas of the state and over areas where joint agreements have been established.
This page shows the current extent of digital orthophoto image data (PDF, 488 kB)* generated by the department. It also displays other associated metadata such as photography capture date and resolution.*Requires Acrobat Reader
