The 2005 Statewide Color Orthophotography Project developed seamless, accurate statewide
aerial photography and elevation data for use in a GIS. All
data are very high resolution and accuracy – meeting the needs of the most demanding
users, like local government.
Description: statewide coverage of natural color orthophotography at 1-foot and 6-inch pixel resolution
Resolution: 79 counties delivered at 1-foot resolution (5’ or better accuracy); 13 counties delivered at
6-inch resolution (2.5’ or better accuracy). See County Buy-Ups
for more specifics.
Projection: Indiana State Plane (appropriate zone, east/west), NAD83/1988 adjustment
Data Format: uncompressed TIFF format (.tif) tiles; compressed MrSID generation III file format (.sid)
Delivery Method: delivered as 92 individual county coverages with a minimum of
one full tile overlap with surrounding counties; single individual county coverages
delivered on DVD to each respective county; unless otherwise arranged, delivered
to the point of contact as identified by the county Emergency Management
Director in their 2004 homeland security grant application (county is responsible
for data distribution within their jurisdiction); one complete set delivered to state
on external hard-drive; one complete set delivered to the Indiana Geographic Information Council
(1-meter resampled)
Description: statewide coverage of color infrared orthophotography resampled from natively
collected 1-foot and 6-inch CIR imagery
Resolution: 1-meter pixel resolution
Projection: UTM coordinates, Zone 16, NAD83/1988 adjustment
Data Format: compressed MrSID generation III files, with world files, and uncompressed TIFF file
formats (.tif) delivered in USGS quarter quadrangle (3.75 minutes) tiles
Delivery Method: one set on external hard drive and one set on DVD delivered to State; one set on DVD
delivered to each county
Resolution: 1- and 2-meter post spacing (variable based on terrain)
Projection: State Plane coordinates, Zone 16, NAD83/1988 adjustment
Data Format: Imagine .IMG Format
Delivery Method: one set on external hard drive and one set on DVD delivered to State; one individual
county set on DVD delivered to each county
