| What They Are: Digital orthoquads (DOQ) of Pennsylvania. DOQs are rectified and projected digital aerial photographs covering a 7.5 minute quadrangle. A single DOQ file is typically 44-46 MB in size. The DOQs are in the same projection as the most recently published 7.5-minute quadrangle. The principal file name of each DOQ is the same as the 7.5 minute quadrangle. |
|
| A map leaves out certain features in order to emphasize others. For example, on a road map you can see roads--they're
more or less permanent--but you can't see cars. There is, however, a way to see the cars, and a lot of other things
that maps leave out. That way is with aerial photographs . They provide a view of exactly what an area looked like from above at one instant in time. Maps are routinely revised using aerial photographs, and it is also possible to get aerial photographs in digital form. These digital photographs share with maps the accurate measurements of distance and direction and are known as digital orthophoto quadrangles (DOQ) . A DOQ is not a substitute for a map. For most casual and recreational uses, in fact, aerial photographs are best used in conjunction with maps. But because of its map-like qualities, a DOQ can be used for any number of professional cartographic and land-management purposes. |
|
| A digital orthophoto quadrangle (DOQ) is a computer-generated image of an aerial photograph. It has been orthorectified--altered so that it has the geometric properties of a map; DOQ's in fact meet National Map Accuracy Standards. Thus the user can measure distances accurately on a DOQ. The standard DOQ from the U.S. Geological Survey is a black-and-white (gray-scale) image covering 3.75 minutes of latitude by 3.75 minutes of longitude. Thus, four such photos can be combined, or mosaicked, to cover the area represented by a standard USGS 7.5-minute, 1:24,000-scale topographic map. Mosaicking is facilitated by the fact that the images overlap. The DOQ's are referenced to the North American Datum of 1983 and use the Universal Transverse Mercator projection. Their resolution is such that each pixel represents a square meter. |
|
| DOQ applications include land and timber management, routing and habitat analysis, environmental impact assessment, evacuation planning, flood analysis, soil erosion assessment, facility management, and groundwater and watershed analysis. The accuracy and extraordinary detail of DOQ's allow users to evaluate their data for accuracy and thoroughness, to modify their data promptly, and even to generate new files. Aerial photographs contain a lot of information, so different users examine them for different purposes. A consulting civil engineer may be looking for anomalies in drainage patterns, for example. A geologist may examine landforms to make deductions about the subsurface. A duck hunter may look for stock ponds that don't show up on topographic maps. So the engineer or geologist would use two photographs and a stereoscope, while the hunter can look at a single photograph unaided as he spreads it across the hood of his truck. In both cases, however, the users are likely to examine the photographs and USGS topographic maps together, perhaps alternating between the two to connect place names and road numbers with unidentified features in the photographs. |
|
| Accuracy Standards USGS DOQ's meet National Map Accuracy Standards at 1:24,000 scale for 7.5-minute quadrangles (corresponding to standard, 7.5-minute USGS topographic maps). These files are in the MrSid format. No viewer is included on the CD. You will need to download and install the FREE MrSid viewer to view these files. You can get the FREE viewer here:http://www.lizardtech.com/ These files average 8MB in size. If they were not in the MRSid format they would be over 40MB each! and take a long time to load. With Mrsid you can save all or parts of the photo in the .TIF file format. You can then use the .TIF image in other software such as Word or Paint Shop or other imaging programs. |

| Software to View MrSid Aerial Photos The MrSid file format (.sid) is becoming more popular and common. As a result, more software is able to read this file format. The following software programs are able to read the MrSid file format: GeoExpress From the creators of the MrSid format.

| Sample Detail of the aerial photos: Below are images from the PITTSBURGH WEST Photo showing the Point and the 3 rivers of Pittsburgh. These images were exported as a .TIF image with the MRSid software and edited in the "Imaging" software included with Windows and saved in the .JPG format. |
