Dataset description

Vantaa ortho aerial photographs from different years are available through the WMS interface. The orthopic image is an aerial map of the whole Vantaa area. Ortho aerial image is an aerial image mosaic corrected to the map projection, which depicts the surface perpendicular to the air and corrected for the plane map. In addition, false colour images from Vantaa are available for the years 2011 and 2015. The wrong color image is also a georefered image (it can be used as a map), but it differs in color shades from other orthographs. The wrong color image shows the vegetation as red and the lifeless surface grey/blue depending on the color adjustments. False colour images can be used to identify tree species and the condition of the trees, and they are used in forest management planning. The resolution of the published orthopic image, i.e. the size of one pixel, is approximately 20 cm in the terrain, depending on the year of photography. **Interface service address and interface description:** — [https://gis.vantaa.fi/geoserver/wms](https://gis.vantaa.fi/geoserver/wms?request=GetCapabilities) — Description of Vantaa map interfaces: https://gis.vantaa.fi/rajapinnat/ **Published levels:** — Orthodox picture 1954 — Orthodontic image 1976 — Orthodox photo 1986 — Orthodontic image 1998 — Orthodox image 2001 — Orthodox image 2004 — Orthodox image 2007 — Orthodontic image 2009 — Orthodontic image 2011 — Wrong color image 2011 — Orthodontic image 2013 — Orthodontic image 2015 — Wrong color image 2015 — Orthodontic image 2016 — Orthodontic image 2017 — Orthodontic image 2019 **Description dates for each year:** — 11-13 MAY 1954 — 9-11 MAY 1976 — 29 JUNE 1986 — 3 September 1998 and 9 September 1998 — 29 JUNE 2001 — 25 MAY — 3 JUNE 2004 — 4 TO 5 AUGUST 2007 — 22 JUNE — 2 SEPTEMBER 2009 — 4-11 JUNE 2011 — 15 JUNE — 7 JULY 2013 — 12, 17 and 29 June 2015 — Autumn 2016 — 4.6 and 29 June 2017 — 31.07.2019-26.08.2019 By opening the WMS Interface resource, you can preview ortho-air images.
