NOAA Ortho-rectified Aerial Mosaic of St Clair and Marine City, Michigan

Ortho-rectified mosaic tiles were created from aerial imagery acquired on 20190723 by the NOAA Integrated Ocean and Coastal Mapping initiative. The source data was captured using an Applanix Digital Sensor System (DSS) at a higher resolution to support the final product. This dataset covers the coastal areas of St Clair and Marine City in Michigan.

Use Cases

• Coastal land cover classification based on ortho-rectified color and infrared imagery
• Change detection analysis for shoreline features based on high-resolution aerial mosaics
• Training semantic segmentation models for infrastructure mapping based on rectified image tiles
• Validating other remote sensing products based on the ortho-rectified ground truth

Strengths

• Imagery was acquired on a specific date: 20190723.
• Source data was captured at a higher resolution to support the final ortho-rectified mosaic.
• Data is produced by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic/temporal bias inherent to datagov.
