WMS Historical Orthophotos MV (WMS_MV_DOP_Historical)

Digital orthophotos (DOPs) are high-resolution, distortion-free aerial images that have a uniform image scale and an exact relation to the country coordinate system. They document the state of landscape at a given time and contain completely all landscape information visible from the “bird perspective” without having already been selected or structured. DOPs are photo-based, pixel-based, geocoded and true to position and are available with a soil resolution of 0.1 m (DOP10), 0.2 m (DOP20) and 0.4 m (DOP40). Through the use of image processing methods, DOP is created from the current aerial stock. Starting with the 2004 flying year, the DOPs are also available as color infrared images (CIR). Since 2013, the airfields have been included both inside and outside the certified situation. The timeliness for the country’s area is about three years. Aerial photographs or DOPs are ideal for comprehending the historical development of landscapes and settlements. This service is used to display digital orthophotos from 2002 onwards with a maximum pixel resolution of 0.40 m. It is operated by the State of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, State Office for Internal Administration.
