NOAA Ortho-Rectified Aerial Mosaic of Manistee, Michigan from 2016

NOAA's National Geodetic Survey produced an ortho-rectified color mosaic of Manistee, Michigan. The source imagery was acquired from September 12 to 15, 2016, using an Applanix Digital Sensor System (DSS) as part of the Integrated Ocean and Coastal Mapping initiative. The final mosaic is composed of higher-resolution original images.

Use Cases

• Coastal land cover classification based on ortho-rectified aerial imagery.
• Change detection analysis for shoreline or urban features based on the 2016 temporal snapshot.
• Training object detection models for infrastructure or natural features based on high-resolution aerial photographs.
• Creating base maps for geographic information systems based on the rectified mosaic tiles.

Strengths

• Imagery was acquired over a defined period from 20160912 to 20160915.
• Source data was captured at a higher resolution to support the final mosaic product.
• Data is ortho-rectified, which likely reduces geometric distortion.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• File formats listed are PDF and HTML, suggesting the primary data files may not be directly accessible.
