This dataset consists solely of raster digital data.  Logical consistency, which applies to vector data, does not apply to this dataset.

This dataset covers the entire county.  Visual inspection in Blue Marbles's Global Mapper software ensures that the imagery completely covers the extent of the county with no gaps.

This imagery was acquired on 04/24/2012.

The purpose of the project is to provide current digital orthophotos. The digital orthophotos are used to support land management and acquisition, planning, and engineering for the state of Florida.

Orthophotography meets the USGS horizontal accuracy requirement of 5.06 feet at the 95 percent confidence level based on the National Standard for Spatial Data Accuracy (NSSDA).

Acknowledgement of the Florida Department of Transportation would be appreciated when using or deriving products from these data.

The imagery was collected by Kucera Inc. at an average altitude of 13,875 feet using a Vexel UltraCamX digital photogrammetric camera. Image quality was verified during the post flight review phase. 
Factors considered during this review included but were not limited to the presence of smoke and/or cloud cover, contrails, light conditions and sun glint.  Ground control consisted of photo identifiable surveyed points.  
Aerotriangulation point measurement accomplished with a combination of automatic and manual point measurement.  Pass and tie points were automatically generated.  Control was manually measured.  
A bundle adjustment was performed on the entire county.   A USGS 1 arc-second (approx. 30m)- Cont. U.S. Digital Elevation Model (DEM), along with breaklines that were collected stereoscopically from aquired iamgery were used 
to create an updated DEM. The photography was orthorectified using the updated DEM.  Seamlines were generated using a combination of automated and manual seamlines generation.  Color balancing was applied during the 
mosaic process to create seamless imagery to the highest extent practically achievable.   The UltraCamX collects sixteen bit image data which requires radiometric conversion to output in standard eight bit image channels. 
Final image tiles were reviewed for artifacts and anomalies and adjusted as part of quality control procedures. When necessary, local corrections to the imagery  
were performed to minimize such effects.
