2007 Coastal One Foot and Six Inch Imagery
The MS Coordinating Council for Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems (MCCRSGIS) has developed one foot and six inch natural color digital ortho-imagery for the six Coastal counties. This ortho-imagery is composed of 24 bit natural color digital orthos at 6' GSD and 1' GSD for the project area. Urban areas and the coastline were typically 6 inch resolution with the remaining areas at 1 foot. See Reference Map
This data was Mosaiced into multi-resolution images using MrSid. The data is in State Plane NAD 83 HARN Feet (MS East 2301) projection. The SID images were created using a 20:1 compression ratio. Please see the detailed metadata for process description. PDF Metadata
The acquisition and production of natural color digital orthoimagery is delivered by sections of counties PDF Index Map
