I've obtained portions of 2009 leaf-off orthoimagery of Virginia from the USGS as GeoTIFFs, and would like to know if anyone can host some of it, or if anyone would like a selected region of it. Total size is 752GB. This is newer and better than anything else I know of for these regions, but these aren't available online from USGS yet (not until late 2012/early 2013 from what I've been told). Since these were captured before the spring, they are excellent for seeing paths and other features through tree cover.
Roughly the resolution and coverage are: 3-inch: Alexandria, small northern portion of Stafford 6-inch: Fairfax County, Falls Church, Richmond, Stafford, Chesterfield, Hopewell, James City, Williamsburg, York, Portsmouth 12-inch: Portions of Loudoun, Prince William, Fredericksburg, greater metro Richmond and Tidewater I made a quick and dirty map showing the coverage: http://imgur.com/wG5zD Metadata can be downloaded here (including Shapefiles of tile boundaries): http://dl.dropbox.com/u/23634456/usgs_hro_virginia_2009_metadata.zip http://www.crocko.com/24AB9BD7D32743C7B7BEA7E8F40E2768/usgs_hro_virginia_2009_metadata.zip (mirror) Some more details can be found here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Virginia#2009_VBMP_Orthoimagery http://www.vita.virginia.gov/isp/default.aspx?id=12118#2009VBMP I also have imagery from the 2006/2007 collections of the northern half of the state, which you can read more about here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Virginia#2006.2F2007_VBMP_Orthoimagery http://www.vita.virginia.gov/isp/default.aspx?id=12118#20062007VBMP -Josh _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
