Abstract
Ayres Associates provided Monroe County, Wisconsin with digital, 4-band orthoimagery services in 2024 as part of WROC. The aerial imagery was collected on March 10th using a Leica Geosystems DMC III sensor mounted in a fixed-wing aircraft. Aerial imagery was collected to support 0.5 foot ground sample distance (GSD) orthoimagery to meet ASPRS Class II horizontal accuracy standards at 1"=100' map scale. The horizontal accuracy meets or exceeds 1.4 feet RMSEr according to the ASPRS Accuracy Standards for Digital Geospatial Data. Resultant orthoimagery was rectified to a DEM created from existing LiDAR collected in 2019. Orthoimagery was delivered in PLSS section GeoTiff and SID tiles and a project wide SID mosaic. The orthoimagery was delivered according to a PLSS section tile schematic. The project area covers approximately 908 square miles. Supplemental Information: The Wisconsin Regional Orthoimagery Consortium (WROC) is a multi-entity group 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 Monroe County in 2024 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 services for Monroe County, Wisconsin in 2024 as part of the Wisconsin Regional Orthoimagery Consortium (WROC).]

Data Quality Information

Lineage
Process Step
Description
Ground control consisted of photo identifiable surveyed points. The imagery was collected using a Leica Geosystems DMC III sensor at 14.5cm 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 surface created from existing LiDAR collected in 2019. 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.
