The USGS would like to remind users of the upcoming sunset of National Map High Resolution Orthoimagery Data and Services.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The National Geospatial Program<\/a> (NGP) is planning to complete the retirement of the High Resolution Orthoimagery<\/a> (HRO) portion of imagery data and services on September 29, 2017.\u00a0 Access to standard HRO data products and HRO services through the National Map will be discontinued at that time.<\/p>\n

HRO data generally consists of 1 meter or better resolution, leaf-off, orthorectified imagery products acquired over the nation\u2019s major urban regions and provided through The National Map<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The data were acquired through 2014 in collaboration with the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency<\/a> with cover routinely expanded in partnership with local, regional, and state governments. The NGP is continuing support of access to National Agriculture Imagery Program<\/a> (NAIP) orthoimagery data and services, provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The source imagery used in the generation of the standard HRO data products and services will continue to be made available through Earth Explorer<\/a> by the USGS Land Remote Sensing Program<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The sunset of HRO data and services is part of a shift in USGS priorities towards the accelerated development of the 3D Elevation Program (3DEP<\/a>).<\/p>\n

\u201cThe USGS anticipated that imagery data acquired through 2014 would have a useful lifecycle of three years\u201d, said Paul Wiese, NGP Orthoimagery Theme Lead, \u201cand we are now approaching the end of this three year period.\u201d<\/p>\n

As new imagery platforms become available and as other imagery programs evolve, the NGP will work with the data and service providers to support orthoimagery as a base reference data layer for the users of the National Map.<\/p>\n
