View spatial imagery of Ontario captured by satellite or airplane. __Background__ Every five years, the Ministry of Natural Resources coordinates projects to photograph high resolution imagery of settled areas of the province. Geospatial Ontario (GEO) acquires, maintains, and distributes this high-resolution imagery collected across Ontario. From 2013 to 2023, public and private sector organizations partnered with Ontario to share in the costs of acquiring aerial imagery. Project participants included: * other Ontario ministries * municipalities * federal agencies * conservation authorities * non-government organizations (NGOs) * private companies Starting in 2024, GEO will fully fund imagery acquisitions. All imagery will be released openly and available to everyone as soon as the imagery is ready as a mappable product. __Technical information__ This record includes all collections of digital orthophotography which are currently open to the public. Collections are differentiated by year of acquisition and region of the province covered. Orthophotographs are primarily taken during the spring in leaf-off/low-leaf conditions. All orthophotography is available as GeoTIFFs with the following bands of spectral information: * red * green * blue * near-infrared Pixel size is consistent within collections but varies between collections, ranging from a minimum of 16 cm to a maximum of 50 cm. __Open imagery access restrictions__ Starting in 2024, most orthophotography acquisitions will be made available under the Open Government Licence. This only applies to orthophotography collections where Ontario owns the intellectual property rights. __Open Government licensed orthophotography collection release schedule__ 2022 release: * Algonquin 2015 * Central Ontario Orthophotography (COOP) 2016 * Digital Raster Acquisition Project East (DRAPE) 2008 * Digital Raster Acquisition Project East (DRAPE) 2014 * Simcoe Muskoka Dufferin 2008 * South Central Ontario Orthophotography Project (SCOOP) 2013 * Southwest Ontario Orthophotography Project (SWOOP) 2006 * Southwest Ontario Orthophotography Project (SWOOP) 2010 * Southwest Ontario Orthophotography Project (SWOOP) 2015 2023 release: * Northwest Ontario Orthophotography Project (NWOOP) 2017 2024 release: * South Central Ontario Orthophotography Project (SCOOP) 2018 * South Central Ontario Orthophotography Project (SCOOP) 2023 * Digital Raster Acquisition Project East (DRAPE) 2019-2020 * Southwest Ontario Orthophotography Project (SWOOP) 2020 * Central Ontario Orthophotography Project (COOP) 2021 * Northwest Ontario Orthophotography Project (NWOOP) 2022 2025 release: * Digital Raster Acquisition Project East (DRAPE) 2024 2026 release: * Southwest Ontario Orthophotography Project (SWOOP) 2025

Data has been collected primarily using a depth measurement device, such as an echo-sounder, in combination with a Global Positioning System (GPS) for horizontal positioning. Other survey methods, such as bathymetric LiDAR may also have been used. The survey method used in each body of water is shown in the [Bathymetry Index](https://geohub.lio.gov.on.ca/datasets/mnrf::bathymetry-index ).

This dataset contains observations of species occurrences from seafloor imagery collected by the autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) during the 2012 Expedition to Cobb Seamount. The National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration-operated SeaBED-class AUV which collected photographic images from 4 transects ranging from 436 m to 1154 m in depth.

The Automatic Identification System (AIS) is a global, satellite-based and terrestrial-based ship tracking system that uses shipborne equipment to remotely track vessel identification and positional information and is typically required on vessels of 300 gross tonnage or more on an international voyage, of 500 gross tonnage or more not on an international voyage, and passenger ships of all sizes. AIS tracking technologies are primarily used in support of real-time maritime domain awareness and for maritime security and safety of life at sea. This report describes a geographic information system (GIS) analysis of 2019 AIS data to produce yearly and monthly vessel density maps of all vessel classes combined and yearly density maps of each vessel class. The year 2019 was selected to portray shipping densities in a pre-COVID 19 pandemic depiction of the maritime transport sector in the Northwest Atlantic. Vessel density map applications include use in spatial analysis and decision support for marine spatial planning.In 2023 the process was applied to the years 2013 through to 2022 and were made available using the same processes that were applied to the original 2019 datasets.

Orthorectified imagery (orthophotographs and orthomosaics) offers an aerial view of Quebec territory at different times. Orthophotographs are the result of a process that corrects the deformations caused by the inclination of the camera and the relief. Orthomosaics are the fusion of several orthophotographs that facilitate analysis on a larger scale. Acquired since 1992, orthorectified imagery offers a faithful representation of the territory at various dates. It can be used, in particular, for mapping, territorial planning, monitoring of landscape changes, environmental risk analysis or integration into geographic information systems (GIS) by a variety of stakeholders, including professional staff from municipal, governmental, governmental, forestry, agricultural and environmental communities, including professional staff from municipal, governmental, governmental, forestry, agricultural and environmental communities.The geographic coverage and technical characteristics (resolution, product type) are accessible via the [download map] (https://imagerie-telechargement.portailcartographique.gouv.qc.ca/), which also allows files to be retrieved. This coverage will be improved regularly depending on the availability of new data.These collections come from several government initiatives, including the Ecoforest Inventory of Southern Quebec (IEQM), and numerous partnerships with ministries, agencies and municipalities.To access airborne forest imagery, you can also consult the following sheets: * [Mosaic of aerial orthophotographs from the ecoforest inventory of southern Quebec] (https://www.donneesquebec.ca/recherche/dataset/mosaique) * [Historic forest airborne imagery] (https://www.donneesquebec.ca/recherche/dataset/imagerie-historique)**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**
