Us Aerial Photography

Current and historic U.S. Aerial Photography is acquired at various scales and from a variety of sources. Scales include 1:12,000, 1:24,000 and 1:40,000. The Photography is either black-and-white, natural color or color infrared, depending on the source. U.S. Aerial Photography is available in either hard-copy or in various digital formats.

geoORTHO is a Black-and-White, seamless, blended mosaic of USGS Digital Ortho Quater Quad (DOQQ) aerial photography in one and four meter resolutions. The Mosaic covers most of the continental United States.The imagery meets National Map Accuracy Standards of 1:24,000. The dataset contains several enhancements over traditional DOQQ photos, including radiometric balancing, mosaicking, database formatting, and color standardization. 		geoORTHO Imagery

Each Digital Orthophoto Quarter Quadrangle (DOQQ) covers an area of 3.75 minutes of latitude by 3.75 minutes of longitude (Roughly 3 1/2 miles by 4 1/2 miles). The scale is 1:12,000 with a resolution of one or eight meters. The photography is geo-referenced so that other digital map data layers can be overlaid and used in various ways.

DOQQ's have between 50 and 300 meters of over edge, sufficient to facilitate tonal matching for mosaicking and the placement of NAD 83 and NAD 27 quarter-quadrangle corner ticks that are embedded in the image. Through image mosaicking two or more rectified images can be combined and merged into one image. For instance, mosaicking four DOQQ's can produce a digital orthophoto in 7.5-minute format. File Size of One-Meter DOQQs in TIFF format are approximately 45 Megabytes for Black-and-White and 145 Megabytes for Color Infared or CIR. Eight Meter DOQQs in JPEG format are approximately 200KB.

Formats include: TIFF, MapInfo, ArcView, AutoCAD and Others

Photographic Enlargements

All 9" x 9" color and b/w contact prints are generated with LogEtronics Aerial Film Printers. Multiple dodging controls are used to ensure maximum detail across the entire negative or positive transparency.

Aerial film can be enlarged up to 12 times photographically on our 10" x 10" Durst Laborator enlarger. Final color or b/w enlargements can be produced in our in-house photographic laboratory up to 40" x 70".

Digital prints from aerial film can be generated up to 60" x 120" on our HP-5000 inkjet plotter. Your specific project area can be scanned at 3400 dpi to yield high resolution enlargements up to 15 times the original photo scale.
