2023 Orthophoto - 3 inch resolution: This document describes the processes used to create the orthoimagery data produced for the District of Columbia from 2023 digital aerial photography. It was flown on May 6 and 10, 2023. The aerial imagery acquisition was flown to support the creation of 4-band digital orthophotography with a 3 inch/0.08 meter pixel resolution over the full project area covering the District of Columbia which is approximately 69 square miles. The contractor received waivers to fly in the Flight Restricted Zone (FRZ) and P-56 areas. The ortho imagery was submitted to DC OCTO in GeoTiff/TFW format tiles following the tile scheme provided by OCTO. MrSID and JPEG2000 compressed mosaics were delivered as well using a 50:1 compression ratio.

2021 Orthophoto - 3 inch resolution: This document describes the processes used to create the orthoimagery data produced for the District of Columbia from 2021 digital aerial photography. It was flown on March 11, 2021. The aerial imagery acquisition was flown to support the creation of 4-band digital orthophotography with a 3 inch/0.08 meter pixel resolution over the full project area covering the District of Columbia which is approximately 69 square miles. The contractor received waivers to fly in the Flight Restricted Zone (FRZ) and P-56 areas. The ortho imagery was submitted to DC OCTO in GeoTiff/TFW format tiles following the tile scheme provided by OCTO.

Please note, the download feature for this image service in Open Data DC provides a compressed PNG, JPEG or TIFF. The compressed MrSID and JPEG2000 mosaic raster datasets are available under additional options when viewing downloads. Requests for the individual GeoTIFF set of images should be sent to open.data@dc.gov.
