NOAA Ortho-rectified Aerial Mosaic of Monroe, Michigan from 2016

NOAA's 2016 ortho-rectified color mosaic provides geospatially accurate aerial imagery of Monroe, Michigan. The imagery was captured on November 12, 2016, using an Applanix Digital Sensor System (DSS) as part of the Integrated Ocean and Coastal Mapping initiative. This dataset is produced by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Geodetic Survey.

Use Cases

• Train land cover classification models based on high-resolution aerial imagery.
• Conduct coastal zone change detection analysis based on ortho-rectified mosaic tiles.
• Validate or augment remote sensing datasets based on infrared wavelength imagery.
• Perform geographic feature extraction based on digital orthophotography.

Strengths

• Imagery is ortho-rectified, providing geospatially accurate mosaics.
• Source data was acquired with a specific sensor (Applanix DSS) on a known date (2016-11-12).
• Produced by a authoritative organization (NOAA National Geodetic Survey).

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and file size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
