These medium resolution true color (RGB - Red-Green-Blue bands) images represent the first color aerial photo "basemap" for the Commonwealth from MassGIS. MassGIS (then part of the Executive Office of Environmental Affairs) and the Massachusetts Dept. of Transportation (then the Mass Highway Department) jointly funded the project. The photography for the mainland was captured in April 2001 when deciduous trees were mostly bare and the ground was generally free of snow. Photography for the Elizabeth Islands, Martha's Vineyard, and Nantucket (the "Islands") was captured in April 2003. Imagery is available for the entire state. Original imagery pixel resolution is 1/2-meter.For full metadata visit https://www.mass.gov/info-details/massgis-data-2001-2003-aerial-imagery.

The zip file contains a large tiff mosaic stitched together from a series of aerial photographs of the Calhoun CZO area taken in 1933, when the area was being acquired by the US Forest Service. USFS archaeologist Mike Harmon delivered the black-and-white photographs, known to him as the 'Sumter National Forest Purchase Aerials', to us in a box. The photographs include most of the Enoree District of the Sumter National Forest, including the entirety of the Calhoun CZO, not just the long-term plots and small watersheds. The photographs were scanned and georectified, then color-balanced and stitched together following 'seams' - high-contrast features such as rivers and roads ('seamlined'). In addition to the main tiff are four files that can be used to properly geolocate the composite image in ArcGIS.

The multilayer pdf file includes a smaller version of the seamlined 1933 aerial photography mosaic raster layer, as well as this aerial mosaic transparent over slope map (for a 3D-like 1933 image raster). Other layers include contours, roads, boundaries, sampling locations, 1.5 m DEM, 1.5m slope, 1m 2013 NAIP aerial imagery, and 2014 canopy height. The pdf file includes both 'interfluve order' and 'landshed order.' These two layers mean the same thing, but the landshed is the area unit around the interfluve that is used for statistics; this dataset has been QC'ed. The Interfluve Order network was used to delineate the landsheds and agrees with it >95% of the time, but has a few inaccuracies (it was automated by the computer) that were fixed manually. Use the network for viewing and considering the landscape at large, but for the specific interfluve order, check the color of the 'Landshed Order' dataset to verify its accuracy.

Date Range Comments: The exact date these photos were taken is unknown, but the year is thought to be 1933.The flight date is prior to the USFS land purchases for the Enoree District of the Sumter National Forest; the photos are thus known as the "pre-purchase photos").

A Web Map of Satellite Imagery taken from a variety of sources. Credit goes to Maxar, Earthstar Geographics, CNES/Airbus DS, USDA, USGS, AeroGRID, IGN, and the GIS User Community for the provision of the imagery.This web map contains the World Imagery (Firefly) layer which presents an alternative view of the World Imagery map designed to be used as a neutral imagery basemap, with de-saturated colors, that is useful for overlaying other brightly styled layers. This map is intended to support 'firefly cartography' and other cartographic designs that require a neutral background, with the spatial context and texture of imagery, to contrast with the foreground thematic layers that are designed to capture the users attention.Content meant to provide spatial context (the basemap) should recede in visual priority, helping to establish the thematic layers that they support (rather than compete with them). There are many ways to sufficiently mute your basemap, but for satellite imagery, de-saturation is a nice option. An image that is all or mostly black and white won’t compete as much with the brightly colored thematic data that it supports. With this map, the color of the imagery is mostly removed at the smallest global scales and then gradually re-introduced at the larger scales, where the full detail of the imagery is available.

The global satellite imagery market is experiencing robust growth, driven by increasing demand across diverse sectors. The market's expansion is fueled by several key factors. Firstly, advancements in sensor technology are leading to higher-resolution imagery with improved accuracy and detail, enhancing applications in various fields. Secondly, the decreasing cost of satellite launches and data processing is making satellite imagery more accessible and cost-effective for a wider range of users. Thirdly, the rise of cloud computing and sophisticated analytical tools facilitates efficient data storage, processing, and analysis, unlocking valuable insights from vast datasets. Finally, increasing government investments in space exploration and national security are boosting demand for high-quality satellite imagery. We estimate the market size in 2025 to be approximately $2.5 billion, considering average growth rates within the geospatial intelligence sector. The market is projected to maintain a healthy Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of around 8% through 2033, driven by continued technological innovation and expanding applications in areas such as precision agriculture, urban planning, environmental monitoring, and disaster response. However, the market faces some restraints. Data security and privacy concerns surrounding the use of satellite imagery need to be addressed through robust regulatory frameworks and ethical guidelines. Competition among numerous established players and new entrants is also intense, putting pressure on pricing and margins. Furthermore, potential disruptions from weather events and technological failures can affect data acquisition and availability. Despite these challenges, the long-term outlook for the satellite imagery market remains positive, with significant potential for growth and innovation. The emergence of new technologies like smallsat constellations and AI-powered analytics is poised to further accelerate market expansion in the coming years. Key players like Maxar Technologies, Airbus, and Planet Labs are strategically positioning themselves to capitalize on these trends through technological advancements, strategic partnerships, and acquisitions.
