WMS 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 - NDVI image service uses 4-band imagery (RGB+NIR) collected between 2024-2027 for North Carolina. The imagery is displayed using the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI). The normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) is useful for measuring the quality, density, and amount of vegetation in a particular area. It is a single band dataset that represents vegetation health, based on the difference between the red and near infrared bands. Red and orange pixels represent areas with no vegetation. Yellow pixels represent areas with low to moderate vegetation. Green pixels represent areas with high vegetation density and health. 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.
