South Central Ontario Orthophotography Project (SCOOP) was acquired in the spring of 2018 and 2019 under the best conditions possible to achieve cloud free, snow free, ice free, smoke free and leaf off captures. The orthophotography has a pixel resolution of 16 centimetres and is accurate within 45 centimetres on the ground. Time of Capture: March 22, - May 23, 2018 and May 6th - May 27th, 2019 Coverage: 38,920 square kilometres Canopy Coverage: Leaf-Off Resolution: 16 centimetre Bit-depth: 8-bit Number of Image bands: Four band (RGBN) Accuracy: Within 45 centimetres on the ground at 95% confidence. Format: GeoTIFF (and compressed GeoTIFF) Participants to share in the cost of acquisition with the Ontario government are being sought and can include public, private, First Nations and non-government organizations. Participants get access to their imagery products of interest as soon as they are available. The acquisition area spans two Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) Zones of UTM Zone 17 and UTM Zone 18.
