NOAA Ortho-rectified Near-Infrared Aerial Mosaic of Manistee, Michigan, 2016

Manistee, Michigan is covered by ortho-rectified mosaic tiles created by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The 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 source images were captured at a higher resolution to support the final mosaic product.

Use Cases

• Coastal change detection based on ortho-rectified near-infrared imagery.
• Land cover classification based on near-infrared spectral information.
• Creating base maps for geographic information systems based on the orthophoto mosaic.
• Monitoring vegetation health in coastal areas based on near-infrared reflectance.

Strengths

• Imagery is ortho-rectified, providing a geometrically corrected product suitable for measurement.
• Source data was acquired over a specific four-day period in September 2016.
• Produced by NOAA's National Geodetic Survey, an authoritative source for geospatial data.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Available file formats are PDF and HTML, which may not contain the primary raster data directly.
