Maryland Aerial Imagery Photo Centers From 2025 Flights

Maryland's Garrett, Allegany, Washington, Frederick, Carroll, and Harford counties are covered by this set of aerial photo center locations. The State of Maryland collected six-inch pixel, 4-band imagery with 60% front and 30% side overlap during flights on March 3, 10, 18, 21, 23, and April 9, 2025. The dataset provides the geographic coordinates for the centers of these aerial image captures.

Use Cases

• Georeferencing aerial imagery tiles using the provided photo center coordinates.
• Conducting change detection analysis by comparing 2025 imagery centers with those from other years.
• Planning photogrammetric projects by analyzing the specified 60% front and 30% side overlap patterns.
• Mapping land cover in the six specified Maryland counties using the 4-band (likely RGB+IR) spectral information.

Strengths

• High spatial resolution of six-inch pixel imagery provides detailed ground visibility.
• Imagery includes 4 spectral bands, enabling analysis beyond standard RGB.
• Specific flight dates (March-April 2025) and overlap specifications (60%/30%) are documented for reproducibility.
• Cross-platform presence on datagov indicates official curation and importance.

Limitations

• The exact number of photo center points, file size, and specific column names are not provided.
• The license, author details, and precise data format (beyond listed file types) are unknown.
• Metadata shows conflicting last updated timestamps (2026-04-05 05:11:01.706576 vs 05:10:47.731063) on the same platform.
