Digital Ortho Photos

Digital ortho photo from near Longmont in eastern Boulder County.Cloud-free, black and white (panchromatic), 1:24,000, aerial photographs of eastern Boulder County were taken in April 1999.

Using primary and secondary control points from the control densification project, the digitally scanned photos were rectified into digital ortho photos. Digital image specifications include 18-inch pixels with 3.8-foot horizontal positional accuracy. DOP images are in Colorado State Plane, North Zone projection, based on the 1992 HARN adjustment of the 1983 North American Datum datum (NAD 83/92).

Digital ortho photos were developed by the Boulder Area Spatial Information Cooperative (BASIC), an intergovernmental group consisting of local, regional, state, and federal agencies.

  • a project-wide mosaic.
