This presentation focuses on recent and upcoming acquisitions managed by Kentucky’s Aerial Photography & Elevation Data Program, commonly known as KyFromAbove. This ongoing effort acquires, maintains, and distributes high-resolution aerial photography and LiDAR-derived elevation products for the entire Commonwealth. Provision of an openly accessible, seamless basemap, including current color leaf-off aerial photography and LiDAR-derived elevation data, reduces the cost of developing GIS applications, promotes data sharing, and streamlines many state agency business processes. The program’s strict adherence to data standards, long-term stakeholder collaboration, use of economies of scale purchasing, and distribution of data resources in the public domain are the basis of its success. An overview of unique use cases, new ways to consume KyFromAbove oblique imagery, and Phase2 elevation derivatives will also be highlighted during the session.
