Obtaining High-Resolution (0.075m) Georeferenced TIFF for Entire City Using ArcGIS or Python

Bottom Line Up Front (BLUF): I seek guidance on acquiring a georeferenced TIFF file with a 0.075-meter resolution for an entire city without manually downloading sectional images.​

Context:

  • Objective: Obtain high-resolution (0.075m) aerial imagery for comprehensive city analysis.​
  • Challenge: Avoid manual, sectional downloads of imagery.​

Specific Questions:

  1. ArcGIS Capabilities: Can ArcGIS facilitate the download of high-resolution imagery for an entire city in a single process? If so, what are the recommended workflows or tools?​
  2. Python Solutions: Are there Python libraries or scripts capable of automating the download and stitching of high-resolution imagery to create a unified georeferenced TIFF?​

I appreciate any insights or recommendations on tools, workflows, or best practices to efficiently acquire and process high-resolution georeferenced imagery for an entire city.

Best regards,

Rohan

    Hi @Rohan_Singh_18008,

    The way to download a geoTIFF file from MapBrowser is to have access to the advance export tool that allows you to download a maximum of 1000 sq miles per export. This will be totally dependent on your subscription plan. Another option I could suggest is to request an offline vertical content if your subscription allows it. You will have to talk to your Nearmap admin if that is possible.

    You can also look at using any of our APIs to bring imagery to your application(Nearmap APIs). I hope that answers your questions.
