This data resource is a colour compressed orthomosaic, stored in MrSID image format and covers the City of Kitchener. Pixel resolution is 12 cm. The full colour orthomosaic was provided to the Geospatial Centre by the City of Kitchener in July 2020.

This unique product was created by Geospatial Centre staff by combining: Waterloo zoning (2019), Kitchener zoning (2019), Cambridge zoning (2018) with Teranet's Waterloo Assessment file (2008).

This data resource was received from Airborne Imaging in April, 2020.  The 1 km x 1 km tiled data was collected April 2015 with an average flying height above ground of 1,300 metres (m) producing a Horizontal Accuracy, 95% or 2σ: 30 cm and a Fundamental Vertical Accuracy (on flat hard surfaces), 95% or 2σ: 10 cm.

The data set includes 1 metre Grids (XYZ ASCII), Hillside Images (Geotiffs), Point cloud (LAS v1.2 and 50cm Contours.
