Abstract:
Orthophotos of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania -  An orthoimage is remotely sensed image data that has been positionally corrected for camera lens distortion, vertical displacement and variations in aircraft altitude and orientation.  Orthoimagery combines the image characteristics of a photograph with the geometric qualities of a map.
Purpose:
Aerial survey of Allegheny County,Pennsylvania. Orthophotos serve a variety of purposes, from interim maps to field references for earth science investigations and analysis. The digital orthophoto is useful as a layer of a geographic information system and as a tool for revision of digital line graphs and topographic maps.
Supplemental_Information:
These color orthoimages were produced at 1-foot pixel resolution. Each orthoimage provides imagery for a 10,000 x 10,000 ft. block on the ground. The projected coordinate system is Pennsylvania State Plane South with a NAD83 datum. There is no image overlap been adjacent files. The orthoimage filenames were derived from the northwest corner of each ortho tile using the first four digits of the northing and easting coordinates referenced to the Pennsylvania State Plane coordinate system, followed by the State designator "PA," and the State Plane zone designator "S."
