Next Generation 9-1-1 (NG911) Site Structure Address Points for the Commonwealth of Kentucky that have been filtered to include only counties where oblique imagery currently exists. The filter will be updated as new oblique imagery is made available. The site structure address points are integrated with the KyFromAbove Explorer oblique imagery viewer. Users can click on the KyFromAbove Explorer button in the header of an address point popup to access oblique imagery in another window.More information on Kentucky's oblique imagery, its availability, and the KyFromAbove Explorer web mapping application can be found here: https://kyfromabove.ky.gov/pages/obliqueimagery

Oblique aerial photography is an airborne mapping technique, which uses a professional grade DSLR camera to capture images out the side of our aircraft. Images are geo-referenced using our GPS systems to provide the position of the plane for each image. The Environment Agency has been capturing oblique aerial photography during incident response since 2010, and for bespoke surveys such as cliff line monitoring. Images can be captured in all survey conditions which can have a large influence on the quality of the imagery.

The imagery is available as a JPEG image. Contained within the EXIF metadata for each image is a geo-referenced GPS coordinate of the plane during exposure. These coordinates are in WGS1984 latitude, longitude.

When requesting download of aerial obliques all imagery within a 5km OS Grid is retuned for each type and year of survey. The 'types' of survey available are 'Incident Response' (data captured in varying lighting conditions usually for assessment of flood extent) and 'Other' (bespoke monitoring surveys such as cliff line assessments).

Please refer to the metadata index catalgoues which provde the date and time each image was taken and the location of the plane. The direction the plane was travelling along with the the image view angle is also provided. The image view angle is an approximate direction the camera was pointing for each image with all images captured out the left hand side of the plane.

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) conducts baseline and storm response photography missions to document and understand the changes in vulnerability of the Nation's coasts to extreme storms. On May 19-22, 2009, the USGS conducted an oblique aerial photographic survey from Owls Head, Maine, to the Virginia/North Carolina border, aboard a Cessna 207A aircraft at an altitude of 500 feet (ft) and approximately 1,200 ft offshore (Figure 2, http://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/0946/html/ds946_fig2.html). This mission was flown to collect data for assessing incremental changes since the last survey, flown October 2000, and can be used for assessing future coastal change.

The KyFromAbove Explorer is a browser-based application for viewing the Commonwealth's oblique imagery. The Explorer, developed by NV5 on the ArcGIS Experience Builder platform, allows the user to see the typical view from above (nadir) plus an angular (oblique) view from each cardinal direction (North, South, East, West).The user-friendly overview map makes it easy to find your area of interest. There are tools for measuring, navigation, and sharing right at your fingertips.

The Idaho Historical Aerial Photographs are a collection of both oblique and vertical historic air photos ranging from 1927 to the 1940s. Primarily taken by the Washington National Guard, sets of prints are held by offices within the Clearwater National Forest in Orofino, ID, the Moose Creek Ranger District at Fenn, ID, the Wallace Ranger District, and the Idaho Panhandle National Forests at Coeur d’Alene, ID. These prints were digitized and put online by the University of Idaho Digital Initiatives department starting in 1997 and up through 2011. Many of these prints were returned to their respective owners, while two copies of the scans saved on CD-ROMs are held by the U of I Library. Prints may also have been held by the Potlatch Corporation in Lewiston, ID, from which archival materials have now been transferred to the U of I Library Special Collections as the Potlatch Corporation Historical Archives and many other non-digitized aerial photos are also currently held in the U of I Map Room. Collection efforts were facilitated by Emeritus Librarian Dennis Baird.

This collection is a mix of oblique and vertical images, oblique meaning the photos were taken at an angle and vertical meaning photos taken straight down. Indexes were created to show flight lines or paths and precise locations of each photo taken, while others are gathered into mosaics, or a composite image showing thumbnails of many adjacent photos.

About Aerial Photography

Aerial photography has existed for as long as people have had access to aircraft, such as balloons or even kites, and photography or a means of reproducing a view. Beyond the novelty of seeing your location from a different perspective, aerial photography quickly became a valuable tool for surveillance, cartography, and for documenting historical land use. Photographers found that by taking overlapping photos or many at different angles, the images could be combined to show depth and height of landforms and the built environment.

Aerial photography became a very useful tool for war efforts to show enemy movements and defensive positions. Regionally, national guards such as the 116th Observation Squadron (also known as the Photo Section), 41st Division Aviation of the Washington National Guard, the likeliest group to have taken the photos in this collection, were engaged in aerial photography for observation and reconnaissance during World War 1. After the war, aerial photography turned invaluable for studying the landscape from viewing soil erosion, mapping rivers, showing forestation, and to supporting civil works planning, construction and other improvement projects. New Deal programs during the Great Depression, such as the Grand Coulee Dam and irrigation projects along the Columbia River, were also documented by the 116th section. The buildup to the start of WWII put a halt to their civil photographic projects and the 116th joined federal active duty on September 16th, 1940.

Aerial photographs have been taken by commercial as well as state and national governmental sources, such as the U.S. Geological Service, Bureau of Land Management, National Park Service, and all branches of the military. Advances in geospatial technology have vastly improved the amount of data that can be collected and interpreted through aerial photography.
