Estonia RGB orthophotos

  • The Estonia RGB orthophotos dataset provides aerial imagery of Estonia from 1993 to 2021 with a resolution of 0.4 meters.

  • Orthophotos are processed to remove distortions caused by terrain and camera angles, resulting in accurate representations of the ground.

  • The dataset covers the entire country with varying pixel sizes (10-40 cm) depending on population density.

  • RGB bands (red, green, blue) provide natural color representation for visualization and analysis.

  • The data is free for commercial and non-commercial use with proper attribution to the Estonian Land Board.

Description

Orthophotos are an aerial photo dataset covering Estonia.

An orthophoto is a processed aerial photo from which distortions caused by terrain relief, camera tilt relative to the ground at the moment of exposure and camera central projection are removed. A digital orthophoto has a certain pixel size or resolution which shows the smallest indivisible exposed area on the ground (Ground Sampling Distance, GSD).

Orthophotos have a nationwide coverage and correspond to the scale of 1:5000-1:10000 (pixel size 20-40 cm). Orthophotos for densely-populated areas are produced with the pixel size of 10-16 cm.

The RGB dataset has three bands with nationwide coverage: red, green, and blue.
