Description:

Abstract:

This dataset contains 130 B&W orthophotos covering the Gatineau Park and Ottawa-Gatineau urban area at 1/2 metre and 1 metre resolution in JPEG format and 109 B&W orthophotos covering the Gatineau Park and Ottawa-Gatineau in TIFF format, 1/4 metre resolution.

Purpose:

The orthophotos can be used alone or combined with geospatial data for terrain visualization, environmental monitoring and landuse assessment. They also provide an up-to-date base map which can be integrated with other geographic information to give a rich visual context when studying social, economic or environmental problems.
