      Methodology
      High resolution land cover dataset for Kitchener,ON. Seven land cover classes were mapped: (1) tree canopy, (2) grass/shrub, (3) bare earth, (4) water, (5) buildings, (6) roads, and (7) other paved surfaces. The primary sources used to derive this land cover layer were 2019 LiDAR data and 2019 3 band orthomosaic imagery. Ancillary data sources included GIS data provided by Kitchener,ON or created by the UVM Spatial Analysis Laboratory. Object-based image analysis techniques (OBIA) were employed to extract land cover information using the best available remotely sensed and vector GIS datasets. OBIA systems work by grouping pixels into meaningful objects based on their spectral and spatial properties, while taking into account boundaries imposed by existing vector datasets. Within the OBIA environment a rule-based expert system was designed to effectively mimic the process of manual image analysis by incorporating the elements of image interpretation (color/tone, texture, pattern, location, size, and shape) into the classification process. A series of morphological procedures were employed to insure that the end product is both accurate and cartographically pleasing. Following the automated OBIA mapping a detailed manual review of the dataset was carried out at a scale of 1:2500 Meters and all observable errors were corrected.

Metadata Link Orthoimagery 2014

        Abstract: 
        Digital orthophoto imagery at a resolution of 12 cm was flown for the Region of Waterloo. The images were capture in spring 2014. The ground conditions were leaf off and snow free.

      Category
      Ortho


      Feature Type
      Imagery


      Methodology
      First Base Solutions created a digital 12cm resolution colour orthophoto mosaic of every 60% FOL photograph using the adjusted digital images, ground control data and a digital elevation model.

Correcting the distortion found in the original imagery creates the orthophoto. There are three distortions, camera lens distortion, changes in aircraft altitude and changing ground elevation.

Processing of the orthoimagery is done by using a combination of PCI and Intergraph software. Once the adjusted image orientation data is imported, the remaining data required to produce the orthophoto is input. This includes the camera calibration data, control data and the digital elevation model. The number of times the imagery is subject to re-sampling is minimized. The re-sampling algorithms used employs cubic convolution strategies for deriving the output pixel intensity value. Once the individual images have been orthorecified they are imported into the Intergraph OrthoPro mosaicing environment. Intergraph produces remarkable mosaics with virtually invisible seams and remarkably even tone. Initial tiles are clipped from within Intergraph and then mosaiced together using MrSID for QC evaluation. Visual QC checks are done to look for wobbles along road/railways and bridges, even colour tones, poor cutline location and incorrect elevations. Once corrections are complete the final tiles are clipped using PCI and final delivery tiles are processed.
