Queensland Imagery Latest State Program Public Basemap Service

A basemap image service that displays the best openly available (latest and highest spatial resolution) authoritative general reference imagery datasets captured by remotely piloted aircraft systems (drones), piloted aircraft, and satellite space craft over areas of Queensland. This basemap service is designed to provide access to the latest publicly available State Remotely Sensed Image Library collection of aerial imagery capture under the Spatial Imagery Services Program (SISP). Aerial imagery that is three years or older captured under SISP is made available for public use openly by the Department of Resources, Queensland. Satellite imagery (Planet Q3 2017 mosaic) is visible in areas over Queensland where aerial photography is unavailable. Basemap services comprise a single layer of static imagery optimised for display purposes. This service has a tile cache built down to a scale of 1:1129. The tile cache can be turned off in client software for viewing at lower scales and printing purposes, and can be used in dynamic mode to filter and display individual project areas. The projects range from 2cm to 240cm resolution. Accuracy is dependent on the individual projects. Periodical updates will be made to the service as new projects are captured. Projects are visible at scales 1:50,000, 1:250,000 and 1:25000000. The images comprised in each of the projects are orthorectified which removes the effects of image perspective (tilt) and relief (terrain) effects for the purpose of creating a planimetrically correct image. The resultant orthorectified images have a constant scale wherein features are represented in their 'true' positions.
