NLS Orthophotos are an aerial photo dataset covering the whole of Finland.
This data is provided by Mavi(Agency for Rural Affairs).
An orthophoto is a combination of several individual aerial photos. The
aerial photo dataset in orthophoto format is available as the most recent
dataset consisting of the most recent aerial photos available. The most
recent data is usually 1-3 years old. NLS Orthophotos are updated every
3 years (in Northern Lapland 12 years).
In these images, the bands are near-infrared, red, and green.
(In Dataset id, VV stands for "vääräväri", false color)
