National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP) aerial imagery with a 1-meter resolution

The Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications, GIS Unit, has created a series of Map Tile Services for use in public web mapping & desktop applications. The link below describes the Basemap, Labels, & Aerial Photographic map services, as well as, how to utilize them in popular JavaScript web mapping libraries and desktop GIS applications. A showcase application, NYC Then&Now (https://maps.nyc.gov/then&now/) is also included on this page.

This data results from the NRSC's ongoing 1:25000 UK Aerial Photography Programme; a project designed to maintain an up to date aerial coverage of the United Kingdom, covering the complete area at least every 5 years.

The Orthoview product has been generated from vertical aerial photographs. The photographs have been orthorectified (to correct for distortion towards their edges) then mosaiced to provide a seamless dataset for the UK at a 0.5 metre resolution. This allows imagery for any area of interest to be generated without issues associated with scenes falling across multiple photographs.

In addition to its prime application in photogrammetric mapping (from updating and contouring existing maps to preparing large scale engineering plans), the data is used for environmental studies, general planning, land use and land capability, soils, pollution, forestry, mining and quarrying, housing and leisure development, agriculture, geology, water, transport and civil engineering, boundary disputes, public enquiries, etc.

The data is stored in digital form and can be supplied on either Exabyte, CD-ROM or CCT. Various hard copy forms can also be generated, including posters and photographic positives/negatives. Price lists and further information are available from the National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC).

Note: All photography is flown to RICS Specification for Aerial Photography Issue III, see references.

Metadata

This content (feature layer) provides the geographic boundaries for all public parks located within the City of Tempe.The data was collected by digitizing park boundaries using aerial imagery as reference from ArcMap. The parks feature class has no different types. There are two specific attributes created for the parks feature class; name and address.

Represents the outer land boundary of Los Angeles County. Land boundaries are derived from the Los Angeles County Cadastral landbase. Ocean boundaries are derived from NOAA coastline data, modified to conform with LAR-IAC aerial imagery where needed. The most current copy of this data is available at the Los Angeles County GIS Data Portal.The principal attribute is BDRY_TYPE. Values include 'Coast', Land City', 'Land County', 'Pier', 'Breakwater', 'Water', and 'Ocean'.

A basemap image service that displays the best openly available (latest and highest spatial resolution) authoritative general reference imagery datasets captured by remotely piloted aircraft systems (drones), piloted aircraft, and satellite space craft over areas of Queensland. This basemap service is designed to provide access to the latest publicly available State Remotely Sensed Image Library collection of aerial imagery capture under the Spatial Imagery Services Program (SISP). Aerial imagery that is three years or older captured under SISP is made available for public use openly by the Department of Resources, Queensland. Satellite imagery (Planet Q3 2017 mosaic) is visible in areas over Queensland where aerial photography is unavailable. Basemap services comprise a single layer of static imagery optimised for display purposes. This service has a tile cache built down to a scale of 1:1129. The tile cache can be turned off in client software for viewing at lower scales and printing purposes, and can be used in dynamic mode to filter and display individual project areas. The projects range from 2cm to 240cm resolution. Accuracy is dependent on the individual projects. Periodical updates will be made to the service as new projects are captured. Projects are visible at scales 1:50,000, 1:250,000 and 1:25000000. The images comprised in each of the projects are orthorectified which removes the effects of image perspective (tilt) and relief (terrain) effects for the purpose of creating a planimetrically correct image. The resultant orthorectified images have a constant scale wherein features are represented in their 'true' positions.
