Union Frameworks: Regional Cartographic and Aerophotogrammetric Coverage Map

Italian regional polygonal vector data shows the territorial extent and availability of cartographic and aerophotogrammetric datasets. The map includes sheets from the 2005 edition of the Regional Technical Charter at scales from 1:5,000 to 1:50,000, orthophoto coverage from 2005, 2012, and 2024 campaigns, and regional LiDAR surveys from 2005 and 2008. The data is provided by the Agenzia per l'Italia Digitale via the eu_open_data platform.

Use Cases

• Assessing the availability of high-resolution cartographic data for a specific Italian region based on the listed scale coverage.
• Planning new aerial surveys by analyzing the geometry and dates of existing flight plans and acquisition strips.
• Selecting appropriate elevation data for terrain modeling based on the described LiDAR survey sample pitches and resampled datasets.
• Verifying the temporal coverage of orthophoto imagery for change detection studies across the 2005, 2012, and 2024 campaigns.

Strengths

• Includes multi-temporal data from three distinct aerial campaigns (2005, 2012, 2024).
• Covers multiple cartographic scales (1:5,000, 1:10,000, 1:25,000, 1:50,000).
• Integrates different data types: vector cartography, orthophotos, flight plans, and LiDAR surveys.
• Specifies technical details like LiDAR sample pitch (0.5 m, 2 m) and the scales of orthophoto cuts.

Limitations

• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after accessing the service.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness of the metadata record is unverified.
