Ortho-rectified Aerial Mosaic of Pensacola, Florida from 2019

Pensacola, Florida is covered by ortho-rectified mosaic tiles created by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The source imagery was acquired on November 19, 2019 using an Applanix Digital Sensor System (DSS) from an aircraft. This dataset is a product of the NOAA Integrated Ocean and Coastal Mapping (IOCM) initiative.

Use Cases

• Coastal land-use change detection based on ortho-rectified aerial imagery.
• Creating base maps for GIS applications based on the rectified mosaic tiles.
• Validating other remote sensing data products based on the high-resolution source imagery.

Strengths

• Imagery is ortho-rectified, which corrects for geometric distortions.
• Source data was acquired at a higher resolution to support the final mosaic product.
• Imagery has a specific acquisition date of November 19, 2019.

Limitations

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