NOAA Ortho-Rectified Aerial Mosaic of Coastal Maine, 2011

Coastal Maine from Cutts Island to Prouts Neck is covered by ortho-rectified mosaic tiles from the NOAA Integrated Ocean and Coastal Mapping initiative. The source imagery was acquired on June 7, 2011, using an Applanix Digital Sensor System (DSS). The final ortho-rectified product is derived from higher-resolution original images.

Use Cases

• Coastal land cover change detection based on ortho-rectified infrared imagery.
• Shoreline mapping and analysis based on the Mean Lower Low Water reference.
• Creating base maps for geographic information systems based on the orthophoto mosaic.

Strengths

• Imagery is ortho-rectified, which corrects for geometric distortions.
• Source data has a known acquisition date of 2011-06 07.
• Original images were acquired at a higher resolution than the final mosaic.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
