Abstract
Ayres Associates provided Green Lake County, Wisconsin, with digital, 4-band orthoimagery services in 2025 as part of WROC. The aerial imagery was collected on April 6th, 12th, 26th, May 4th, and 8th using a Vexcel UltraCam Eagle 4.1 sensor at 7.25 cm GSD mounted in a fixed-wing aircraft. Aerial imagery was collected to support 0.25 foot ground sample distance (GSD) orthoimagery at 1"=50' map scale. The 3-inch pixel orthoimagery was produced to meet or exceed 0.66 foot RMSEH according to ASPRS Positional Accuracy Standards for Digital Geospatial Data 2024. Resultant orthoimagery was rectified to a DEM created from existing lidar. Orthoimagery was delivered in GeoTiff and MrSID tiles and a project-wide MrSID mosaic. The orthoimagery was delivered according to a PLSS quarter section tile schematic. The project area covers approximately 380 square miles. Supplemental Information: The Wisconsin Regional Orthoimagery Consortium (WROC) is a multi-entity group of county members and partners led by regional planning commissions (RPCs) and WROC representatives from Ayres Associates. The goal of the consortium is to build and sustain a multi-participant program to acquire digital orthoimagery and elevation data throughout Wisconsin. Orthoimagery was collected for Green Lake County in 2025 to provide consistent deliverable products and accuracy standards for each of the participating entities.
Purpose
This data is intended for reference and mapping purposes, and may be used for basic applications such as viewing, querying, and map output production, or to provide a basemap to support graphical overlays and analysis with other spatial data. [This project established digital, 4-band orthoimagery for Green Lake County, Wisconsin as part of the Wisconsin Regional Orthoimagery Consortium (WROC).]
Supplemental Information
This is an archived dataset held at UW-Madison.

Data Quality Information

Lineage
Process Step
Description
Ground control consisted of photo identifiable surveyed points. The imagery was collected using a Vexcel UltraCam Eagle 4.1 sensor at 7.25 cm GSD. Image quality was verified during the post flight review phase. Factors considered during this review included, but were not limited to, the presence of cloud cover, contrails, light conditions and sun flare. A rigorous Aerotriangulation process was performed and supplemented by the photo ID survey points. The triangulated strips were rectified to a DEM created from existing lidar. The imagery was mosaicked using manual seamlines generation and tone/color balanced to a project-wide consistency. PLSS section RGBN tiles were extracted from the mosaic and each individual tile was reviewed for artifacts and anomalies and adjusted as part of quality control procedures. The images were reviewed for rectification problems such as bridge displacements and seamline issues caused by the underlying digital elevation model. When necessary, local corrections to the imagery were performed to minimize such effects.
