This collection contains 468 2003 30-centimeter natural color orthorectified images for the Boise, Idaho urban area. This area includes most of northern Ada County with small portions of Boise County and Canyon County. These data are sourced from the U.S. Geological Survey.

These data depict geographic features on the surface of the earth. They were created primarily as a visual aid for urban and county planning. They also provides easily accessible geospatial data which is readily available to enhance the capability of Federal, State, and local emergency responders, as well as plan for homeland security efforts.An orthoimage is remotely sensed image data in which displacement of features in the image caused by terrain relief and sensor orientation have been mathematically removed. Orthoimagery combines the image characteristics of a photograph with the geometric qualities of a map. The design accuracy is estimated not to exceed 3-meter diagonal RMSE (2.12m RMSE in X or Y).

Use Constraints: Public data. However, users should be aware that temporal changes may have occurred since these data were collected and that some parts of these data may no longer represent actual surface conditions. Users should not use these data for critical applications without a full awareness of the limitations of these data as described in the lineage or elsewhere.
