Ortho-rectified Aerial Mosaic of Charlevoix, Michigan from 2024

A 4-band ortho-rectified mosaic of Charlevoix, Michigan, created by the NOAA National Geodetic Survey. The source imagery was acquired on August 3, 2024, using an Applanix Digital Sensor System (DSS) from an airplane. This dataset is a product of the NOAA Integrated Ocean and Coastal Mapping (IOCM) initiative.

Use Cases

• Coastal change detection based on high-resolution aerial imagery.
• Land cover classification using the 4-band spectral data.
• Shoreline mapping and analysis for geomorphic studies.
• Training computer vision models for feature extraction from ortho-rectified images.

Strengths

• Imagery is ortho-rectified, which corrects for geometric distortions.
• Source data was acquired at a higher resolution than the final mosaic.
• Specific acquisition date (20240803) and sensor (Applanix DSS) are documented.

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.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the single location of Charlevoix, Michigan.
