Aerial/Ortho Specifications

Aerial Imagery

AIMS has a variety of aerial imagery datasets available to view or purchase. Starting in 2019, AIMS has captured imagery each year in the late winter/early spring for "leaf off" conditions. Prior to 2019, aerial flights were commonly completed every two years. Below you can see examples of our imagery with specifications. Please take notice of the differing titles "Orthophotography" and "Aerial Imagery". Orthophotography has been rectified, while Aerial Imagery has not. Rectified imagery removes distortion caused by elevation changes and the earth's curvature, which allows you to take accurate measurements. Un-rectified aerial imagery can contain distortion that can skew measurements. These distortions are particularly noticeable on structures such as bridges. If you have any questions, please email the mapper of the day.

Please note that all AIMS Imagery can be accessed via our ArcGIS Server Services Portal. The most recent imagery can also be purchased in SID or TIF formats via Digital Data Request.
