This OGC-compliant web mapping service (WMS) provides 3" pixel resolution orthoimagery of the city of Portland ME. This WMS is provided by the Maine Office of GIS and the Maine GeoLibrary Board. Portland 2006 3" orthoimagery - As the prime contractor, Bradstreet Consultants, Inc. used the aerial photography flown in one session on April 26th, 2006, by Richard Crouse & Associates, Inc. of Frederick, MD who acquired approximately 1335 photos @ 1"=600' with airborne GPS using a Wild RC-30 (#13261) aerial camera. Bradstreet Consultants, Inc. painted and repainted ground targets for photo survey control points (~200) to support full analytical aerotriangulation. The aerotriangulation solution was used to set up each stereopair of photos for orthorectification and DTM compilation. The ortho imagery was created by scanning (14 microns (um) per pixel or 1815 dpi) the original 1"=600' scale film and employing a digital terrain model (DTM) from updating some town's original DTM and some town's from scratch using the 1"=600' scale negatives or diapositives using both analytical and softcopy (digital) stereoplotter in the Kork KDMS format.

Orthoimagery for Portland, Maine clipped to within about 100 feet beyond the town line.
Gound control used in aerotriangulation solution accurate to within 0.1 ft. Said solution was used to compile 1:1200 vector base mapping, which was subsequently used to control the orthorectification process. Vector data was compiled to meet ASPRS Class 1 accuracy standards. The orthorectification process was applied to the imagery and those features which are at ground level. No attempt was made to correctly rectify elevated structures as part of this project.
Comparison to Source
Gound control used in aerotriangulation solution accurate to within 0.1 ft. Said solution was used to compile terrain data to support generation of 2 foot contour data. This elevation data was subsequently used to control the orthorectification process. The elevation data was compiled to meet ASPRS Class 1 accuracy standards. The orthorectification process was applied to the imagery and those features which are at ground level. No attempt was made to correctly rectify elevated structures as part of this project.

The Maine Office of GIS and the GeoLibrary Board provide web mapping services to distribute aerial photos and other digital data. A WMS is not a web application which you can see in a web browser; rather, it requires you to add the service to a GIS software application.
