Historic forest airborne imagery

Historic forest airborne imagery Historical forest airborne imagery corresponds to an annual collection of orthophotographs, acquired by aerial overview in order to meet the needs of the ecoforest inventory of southern Quebec (IEQM) and the global forest planning cycle (operational forest planning, forest planning, forest monitoring and forest activity controls). These images serve, among other things, to feed the process of photo-interpretation and production of the ecoforest map essential for sustainable forest management, as well as the overall forest planning cycle. Historical orthophotographs are assembled into mosaics. Each mosaic groups together the images from an acquisition project that have the same shooting year, the same spatial resolution, and the same color. Mosaics have been produced since 2002 for ecoforest inventory and since 2004 for planning, monitoring and control images. The spatial resolution is generally 20, 21 or 30 cm (with a few exceptions of 50 and 63 cm) for the images that make up the mosaics of the ecoforest inventory, while it is much more variable for the planning, monitoring and control images (from 4 to 150 cm). The color type of images varies: black and white (panchromatic [PAN]), infrared (IRP), or natural (red, green, and blue colors [RGB]). The images used to produce the mosaics are distributed over almost all of the territory south of the 52nd parallel of Quebec's public forest. They are acquired in a cycle of about 10 years for the IEQM and annually for the needs of the global forest planning cycle. Note that imagery of territories acquired through partnerships has been excluded from the mosaics. Orthophotography mosaics are available for visualization only, using a web mapping service (WMTS). Indexes, representing the outlines of the boundaries of projects to acquire historic airborne forest imagery, are also available as a web service (WMS, WFS) or as a downloadable form file (SHP).**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).** 2024-04-04 Government and Municipalities of Québec renseignements@mrnf.gouv.qc.ca Form DescriptorsNature and EnvironmentScience and Technology Original metadata (https://www.donneesquebec.ca)HTML https://www.donneesquebec.ca/recherche/fr/dataset/fecb8382-19c7-4c73-87a5-2e2a3621a345 Procedures for adding a web servicePDF https://mffp.gouv.qc.ca/documents/forets/inventaire/Procedure_service_Web.pdf Historical Ecoforest Inventory Metadata IndexSHP https://diffusion.mffp.gouv.qc.ca/Diffusion/DonneeGratuite/Foret/IMAGERIE/Mosaique_historique/inventaire_ecoforestier_historique.zip Index of historical planning, tracking, and control metadataSHP https://diffusion.mffp.gouv.qc.ca/Diffusion/DonneeGratuite/Foret/IMAGERIE/Mosaique_historique/index_suivi_controle.zip Historical Ecoforest Inventory Metadata IndexWFS https://servicesvectoriels.atlas.gouv.qc.ca/IDS_INDEX_IMAGERIE_GIIN_WFS/service.svc/get?&request=getcapabilities&service=WFS Historic forest airborne orthophotography mosaicWMTS https://servicesmatriciels.mern.gouv.qc.ca/erdas-iws/ogc/wmts/Imagerie_Aeroportee_Forestiere_Historique?request=getcapabilities&service=wmts Index of historical planning, tracking, and control metadataWMS https://servicesvectoriels.atlas.gouv.qc.ca/IDS_INDEX_INVENTAIRE_ECOFORESTIER_HISTORIQUE_WMS/service.svc/get?request=GetCapabilities&service=WMS&layers=Index_Inventaire_Ecoforestier_Historique&legend_format=image/png&feature_info_type=text/plain Index of historical planning, tracking, and control metadataWMS https://servicesvectoriels.atlas.gouv.qc.ca/IDS_INDEX_INVENTAIRE_ECOFORESTIER_HISTORIQUE_WMS/service.svc/get?request=GetCapabilities&service=WMS&layers=Index_Inventaire_Ecoforestier_Historique&legend_format=image/png&feature_info_type=text/plain Historical Ecoforest Inventory Metadata IndexWMS https://servicesvectoriels.atlas.gouv.qc.ca/IDS_INDEX_INVENTAIRE_ECOFORESTIER_HISTORIQUE_WMS/service.svc/get?request=GetCapabilities&service=WMS&layers=Index_Inventaire_Ecoforestier_Historique&legend_format=image/png&feature_info_type=text/plain Historical Ecoforest Inventory Metadata IndexWMS https://servicesvectoriels.atlas.gouv.qc.ca/IDS_INDEX_INVENTAIRE_ECOFORESTIER_HISTORIQUE_WMS/service.svc/get?request=GetCapabilities&service=WMS&layers=Index_Inventaire_Ecoforestier_Historique&legend_format=image/png&feature_info_type=text/plain
