Digital Raster Acquisition Project Eastern Ontario (DRAPE) 2019-2020 - 1km Index

Orthophotography is considered foundational data and can be used in GIS analysis, remote sensing analysis, mapping, asset management, environmental management, planning, and for referential data.

The imagery products described in this metadata record are open data. Use of any imagery indicates your acceptance of the Open Government Licence – Ontario.

The Digital Raster Acquisition Project Eastern Ontario (DRAPE) 2019-2020 imagery acquisition was part of a Geospatial Ontario coordinated project that included funding contributions from Ontario, and other public and private sector organizations to collect high-resolution aerial imagery. This aerial project is part of a five-year plan (2018-2022) to acquire high-resolution, leaf-off/low leaf imagery of settled areas across the province.
The DRAPE 2019-2020 was acquired in the spring of 2019/2020 under the best conditions possible to achieve cloud free, snow free, ice free, smoke free and leaf off/low leaf captures. The orthophotography has a pixel resolution of 16 centimetres and a stated accuracy of 45 centimetres on the ground. 
  • Time of Capture: April 25th, 2019 to May 22nd, 2020
  • Coverage: 36,103 square kilometres
  • Canopy Coverage: Leaf-Off/Low-Leaf (various stages of Leaf-On in some areas)
  • 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)
