This project established digital, 4-band orthoimagery for Buffalo County, Wisconsin as part of the Wisconsin Regional Orthoimagery Consortium (WROC). Ayres Associates provided Buffalo County with digital, 4-band orthoimagery services in 2024 as part of WROC. The aerial imagery was collected on March 20th and April 6th and 13th using a Vexcel UltraCam Eagle M3 sensor mounted in a fixed-wing aircraft. The imagery was collected to support 0.5 foot ground sample distance (GSD) orthoimagery to meet ASPRS Class II horizontal accuracy specifications at 1 inch = 100 feet map scale. The 6-inch pixel orthoimagery was produced to meet or exceed a horizontal accuracy of 1.4 feet RMSE according to ASPRS Positional Accuracy Standards for Digital Geospatial Data, 2014. Resultant orthoimagery was rectified to a DEM surface created from county-wide LiDAR data acquired in 2023. Orthoimagery was delivered in PLSS section GeoTiff and MrSID tiles and a project-wide MrSID mosaic. Supplemental Information: The Wisconsin Regional Orthoimagery Consortium (WROC) is a multi-entity group of county members and partners led by representatives from Ayres Associates and the North Central Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission (NCWRPC). 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 Buffalo County in 2024 to provide consistent deliverable products and accuracy standards for each of the participating entities.
