Abstract:
30-centimeter black and white (greyscale) orthoimagery tiles (uncompressed GeoTIFF and compressed JPEG2000) acquired spring 2022. Product: 15-centimeter raw uncompressed imagery (uncompressed TIFF), black and white orthoimagery tiles (uncompressed GeoTIFF and compressed JPEG2000), and color orthoimagery tiles (uncompressed GeoTIFF and compressed JPEG2000). Geographic Extent: The 2023 project boundary totaled approximately 2639 square miles of 15cm imagery over portions of Addison, Bennington, Caledonia, Caledonia, Chittenden, Franklin, Lamoille, Orange, Orleans, Rutland, Washington, Windham and Windsor Counties. Dataset Description: This metadata describes the 15cm pixel resolution digital orthoimagery produced for the State of Vermont by the Sanborn Map Company. The orthoimagery provided is 4-band (R, G, B, NIR), 8-bit per pixel and delivered in section tiles in uncompressed GeoTIFF and JP2000 (18:1 compression for color, 10:1 for greyscale) compressed formats. The data was collected on April 13th - May 7th, 2023 at an altitude of 4000 meters (AGL) using an UltraCam Eagle camera sensor.

Purpose:
These data were collected as part of a 5-year project issued by the State of Vermont to collect imagery covering various parts of the state over a period of five consecutive leaf-off Spring seasons. These data depict geographic features on the surface of the earth.

Data_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
Radiometry is verified by visual inspection of the digital orthophoto. Slight systematic radiometric differences may exist between adjacent orthoimage files; these are due primarily to differences in source image capture dates and sun angles along flight lines. These differences can be observed in an image's general lightness or darkness when it is compared to adjacent orthoimage file coverages. Tonal balancing may be performed over a group of images during the mosaicking process which may serve to lighten or darken adjacent images for better color tone matching.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
Since the ortho images are raster products, the logical consistency is based on how well the images fit between image tiles and between individual photo frames use to produce the ortho mosaics.
Completeness_Report:
The 8848 ortho image tiles are checked for missing pixels, gaps, overlaps and other anomalies generally associated with digital orthophoto products. Any discrepencies in the ortho tiles are resolved through the use of proprietary and industry editing tools. Once the images are copied to the deliverable media they are further checked for naming, image completeness, and ability to be loaded in ArcMap.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
The project specifications require that horizontal accuracy be computed for orthoimagery files. The required accuracy meets or exceeds the ASPRS Class I Accuracy standards for 30-cm maps, derived according to the latest ASPRS standards. The horizontal accuracy was tested with 25 check points. These check points were not used in the calibration or post-processing of the imagery data. The check points were distributed throughout the project area and were surveyed using GPS techniques. The x and y positions of where the checkpoints fell on the orthoimagery were collected. These values were then compared to the surveyed control point x and y values. Accuracy has been tested to meet 0.300 meter or better RMSEx/RMSEy and 0.424 meter or better RMSEr using ASPRS Class I Accuracy Standards.
Quantitative_Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Assessment:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Value: 0.105
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Explanation:
Tested 0.105 meters RMSEx as defined by the ASPRS Class 1 Accuracy Standards for 30-cm maps. The RMSEx of the imagery was calculated using 25 independent check points.
Quantitative_Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Assessment:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Value: 0.060
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Explanation:
Tested 0.060 meters RMSEy as defined by the ASPRS Class 1 Accuracy Standards for 30-cm maps. The RMSEy of the imagery was calculated using 25 independent check points.
Quantitative_Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Assessment:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Value: 0.140
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Explanation:
Tested 0.140 meters RMSEr as defined by the ASPRS Class 1 Accuracy Standards for 30-cm maps. The RMSEr of the imagery was calculated using 25 independent check points.
Vertical_Positional_Accuracy:
Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report: There is no vertical component for orthophotos.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Image acquisition by Sanborn Map Company, was collected between April 13th - May 7th, 2023 using an UltraCam Eagle Camera. Imagery and GPS/IMU data is downloaded from disc on the plane to disc on the ground. GPS/IMU mission data is processed together with simultaneously collected ground-based GPS base station data in forward and reverse directions. This precisely determines the aerial camera's position and orientation in the terrain (project) coordinate system and allows for correct orientation of the imagery.

Process_Description:
DEM Review/Updating. The LiDAR surface is reviewed and updated as needed to meet the final orthorectification standards set in this project.
Process_Date: 20230623
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Using the processed GPS/IMU data and correctly oriented imagery, a bundle adjustment is computed (AT).
Process_Date: 20230627
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Orthoimagery is created using the AT solution and Lidar derived DTM. The orthoimagery is then color balanced to the acceptable parameters established by the customer. Orthoimagery then undergoes manual quality control to check for issues as outlined in the Digital Orthoimagery Acceptance Criteria document. Issues such as warps, smears, misalignments, etc. are corrected using proprietary tools and Adobe PhotoShop. Upon completion of the QC process, the orthoimagery is provided to the client for review in uncompressed TIFF/TFW format.

Process_Description:
7 ortho image tiles were identified as having "NODATA slivers" along the bottom, something which wasn't originally caught during QC. They were corrected by Sanborn. They included the following tiles VT_50851144_20230415 VT_45990937_20230414 VT_46081099_20230414 VT_47882044_20230421 VT_49051963_20230421 VT_49501954_20230421 VT_50761027_20230420. The new tiles were loaded into the VCGI Image Library and VT Open Geodata Portal. Image services were also corrected.
