Ortho-rectified Aerial Mosaic of Providence, Rhode Island from 2018

An ortho-rectified color mosaic of Providence, Rhode Island, created by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The source imagery was acquired on May 5, 2018, using a Trimble Digital Sensor System (DSS) from an airplane. The data is a product of the NOAA Integrated Ocean and Coastal Mapping initiative.

Use Cases

• Shoreline delineation and change analysis based on the high-resolution aerial imagery.
• Urban planning and land-use classification for Providence based on the ortho-rectified mosaic.
• Coastal habitat mapping and environmental monitoring based on the remotely sensed photography.
• Creating base maps for GIS applications based on the rectified image tiles.

Strengths

• Imagery was acquired at a higher resolution to support the final ortho-rectified mosaic.
• Data is ortho-rectified, which corrects for geometric distortions.
• Source imagery has a specific acquisition date of May 5, 2018.

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 be the primary data formats.
