ALBANY COUNTY’S REMOTE SENSING APPLICATION
Public-domain digital aerial photography data, such as USGS digital orthophoto quadrangles (DOQs) and digital orthophoto quarter quadrangles (DOQQs), usually become outdated in rapidly developing areas. For such areas, high-resolution satellite imagery may be a cost-effective source of more recent overhead images.
