Four Hundred Billion Pixels Of California

In the next week or so the State of California will make available for free download color aerial photography covering the entire state at a 1-meter resolution. Watch the California Spatial Information Library for details. This is a massive dataset—the mosaic for Yolo County alone is 1.5 gigabytes in size. I’m not sure what I’m going to do with it but I’m already salivating over getting bits and pieces of this imagery on my computer.
