This dataset contains a false color aerial image mosaic of the City of Melbourne municipal area. False color images render the scene in other colors not seen by the human eye. It is used for the interpretation of natural resources.

The red tone of the aerial image is associated with live vegetation. Intense reds indicate vegetation which is growing vigorously and quite dense. This image is contains embedded georeferenced information.

Capture Information:
- Capture Date: 2nd/3rd February 2019
- Capture Pixel Size: 5cm
- Map Projection: MGA Zone 55 (MGA55)

Additional technical information:
ArborCarbon collected high resolution multispectral imagery using the ArborCam, a unique 11-band airborne multispectral camera system optimized for the accurate detection of vegetation and subtle changes in vegetation condition. ArborCarbon have used this multispectral image to create this seamless 20cm false-colour composite showing variation in vegetation condition.

The multispectral imagery was acquired at 8,000ft above ground level over the City of Melbourne under cloudless conditions between 09:45 and 12:45 on 2nd and 3rd February 2019.

Imagery was acquired with the ArborCam system with a ground sample distance ranging from 6 cm/pixel to 25 cm/pixel dependent on the band. Imagery was comprised of 3 broad bands in the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum, and an additional 7 narrow-bands strategically positioned in the visible and near infra-red regions to detect subtle variations and changes in vegetation condition.

This dataset contains an aerial image mosaic of the City of Melbourne municipal area. This image provies a 'top down' view of the city and is availible for download in a georeferenced format.

Additional technical information:
ArborCarbon collected the aerial image using the ArborCam, a unique 11-band airborne multispectral camera system optimized for the accurate detection of vegetation and subtle changes in vegetation condition. ArborCarbon have created this seamless 5cm pixel resolution RGB mosaic co-registered to the 4-band image.

The multispectral imagery was acquired at 8,000ft above ground level over the City of Melbourne under cloudless conditions between 09:45 and 12:45 on 2nd and 3rd February 2019. Imagery was acquired with the ArborCam system with a ground sample distance (GSD) ranging from 6 cm/pixel to 25 cm/pixel dependent on the band.

A terrain surface dataset that represents the height value of all natural and built features of the surface of the city. Each pixel within the image contains an elevation value in accordance with the Australian Height Datum (AHD).

The data has been captured in May 2018 as GeoTiff files, and covers the entire municipality.

A KML tile index file can be found in the attachments to indicate the location of each tile, along with a sample image.

Capture Pixel Resolution: 0.1 metres

Whilst every effort is made to provide the data as accurate as possible, the content may not be free from errors, omissions or defects.

Aerial image (true ortho) mosaic of the City of Melbourne municipal area. The true ortho image has been corrected to provide a true ‘top down’ view of the city, removing building lean and other interference typically found in oblique aerial imagery.
The aerial image was captured May 2018 and is available for download in georeferenced (JPEG2000) and formats (JPEG).

Capture Information
- Capture Date: May 2018
- Capture Pixel Size: 7.5cm ground sample distance
- Map Projection: MGA Zone 55 (MGA55)
- Spatial Accuracy (XYZ) Supplied survey control used for control (Madigan Surveying) – 25 cm absolute accuracy

Limitations;
Whilst every effort is made to provide the data as accurate as possible, the content may not be free from errors, omissions or defects.

3D point cloud representing all physical features (e.g. buildings, trees and terrain) across City of Melbourne. The data has been encoded into a .las file format containing geospatial coordinates and RGB values for each point. The download is a zip file containing compressed .las files for tiles across the city area.

The geospatial data has been captured in Map Grid of Australia (MGA) Zone 55 projection and is reflected in the xyz coordinates within each .las file.
Also included are RGB (Red, Green, Blue) attributes to indicate the colour of each point.

3D textured mesh (photomesh) representing all physical features (e.g. buildings, trees and terrain) across City of Melbourne. The 3D textured mesh is provided in object file format (.obj) and is accompanied by material (.mtl) and image texture (.jpg) files.

The data has been split into a series of tiles covering the entire municipality. An index file (Tile_Index.kml) is included to indicate the geo-spatial location of each tile. To position the mesh in its real world location, use the origin coordinates found in the metadata file (metadata.xml).

The 3D textured mesh is provided in different levels of detail, as indicated in the file name of the .obj filename. The levels of detail vary from L13 (lowest level of detail) to L20 (highest level of detail).
