NC Orthoimagery 2024-2027 (CIR) The NC Orthoimagery Program collects and produces 6-inch (15cm) orthoimagery on a 4-year cycle. Approximately a quarter of the state is flown each year to develop streaming imagery services, 5,000' by 5,000' tiles, and compressed single-file county mosaics. Beginning in 2020, the State started collecting a fourth band (near infrared) of imagery which, when combined with the other 3 bands of red, green, and blue, opens new possibilities for exploration and analysis. Get more information about the program at https://nconemap.gov/pages/imagery. The NC Orthoimagery 2024-2027 - CIR image service uses 4-band imagery (RGB+NIR) collected between 2024-2027 for North Carolina. The imagery is displayed as false color/color infrared (CIR). CIR is useful for environmental and land use monitoring because they can highlight features that are not as easily visible in standard visible light photographs. Some examples include assessing the health of vegetation, assessing soil moisture, determining water quality, and identifying man-made features. The compression method (DEFLATE) used for this imagery maintains the individual pixel values so that this data is suitable for analyses. The imagery features a 6-inch pixel resolution with a horizontal accuracy (RMSE) of 1.5 ft in X and Y.
