Presentation Overview • Introduction • Land Information Ontario Overview • Role of Land Information Ontario in imagery acquisition • Imagery Acquisition Projects • Quick Bird Project • South Western Ontario Orthophotography Project (SWOOP) • Opportunities for Partnerships
Land Information Ontario • Program developed to coordinate geospatial activities across Ontario “Ontario’s Land Information is well-managed, accessible, ‘integratable’, and affordable”
Data Data Administration Geo-referencing Fundamental Data Thematic Data
Data Administration • Data Standards - stakeholder based approach to development of comprehensive data standards • Data Management - initiation of cooperative approaches to data: collection; maintenance; access; planning; sharing; integration etc. • Data Partnerships - Provides a forum to identify common data needs and facilitate partnerships between all levels of public and private sector organizations
Planning Goals • Data should be integrated both horizontally and vertically across jurisdictions, to reduce duplication of effort and to promote the concept of ……”collect once, used by many”. • Data should be maintained closest to source • Establish accountability for long-term management of key sector data assets • Facilitate improved and integrated planning around land information activities
Sharing Data The Ontario Geospatial Data Exchange (OGDE) Federal Other Conservation Authorities Municipal Academia Provincial
Long Term Strategies Development of other Exchange groups Forestry Exchange - implemented Water Power Exchange - implemented Utilities/Infrastructure Private Sector Exchange Looking at collaboration opportunities with other provinces (Quebec/Manitoba/British Columbia and Saskatchewan) Working extensively with the IJC and GLC Looking to develop partnerships with public sector organizations across the USA, particularly States around the Great Lakes (New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota) and Federal (EPA, F&W, USGS etc.)
Data Fundamental Data Projects • Ontario Road Network • Ontario Parcel • Municipal Boundaries • Township Improvements • LANDSAT 7
Major Provincial Initiatives/Partnerships • Southern Ontario Land Resource Information System • MNR, Conservation Authorities, Municipalities, Others • Wind Power Analysis/Mapping • - MNR, Private Sector, MOE, Federal (NRCan, EC) • Crown Land Use Atlas • - MNR, Forest Industry, Tourism, Northern Development • Groundwater Studies • MOE, Municipalities, Conservation Authorities, Private Sector • Health – West Nile Virus • Min of Health, Public Health Units, MNR, MOE, Health Canada • Trails Ontario • - All organized trail groups, MNR, MTO, Tourism, others
Data Access Warehouse and Directory • Metadata Directory • Warehouse • Structured • Unstructured • Internet Browsing • Publishing/Subscribing • Security • Other Services
Role of Land Information Ontario - Imagery Funding • Assist in generating Provincial Ministry funding partnerships • Coordinate Provincial and Federal interest • Develop and provide Provincial standards and requirements • Facilitate partnership development with public and private sector groups who are interested
Role of Land Information Ontario - Imagery Project Management • Contract and Agreement negotiations • Enter into agreements with Project Vendors and Partners • Accept and deliver data and products to Provincial Partners • Coordinate (with stakeholders and partners) QA/QC of products
Project Cost • Licensing Rights • Data co-owned with vendor • Ability to sell/trade • Dependant on contributions/geographic area • Pricing per square kilometre area: • Ortho and Enhanced DEM sq.km. • Area A Ortho (20cm) + DEM 8739 = $254.65 • Area B Ortho (20cm) + DEM 975 = $329.05 • Area C Ortho (20cm) + DEM 2280 = $321.35 • Area D Ortho (50cm) + DEM 15111 = $238.65 • Note - Simcoe Cty, Mono Twp & ORM scanned at 30 cm • Total Project Cost ~ $6.8 Million
Ontario Quick Bird Project Project Overview • Image Requirements • Source Protection Planning legislation requires current and accurate mapping to be completed across the province • Conservation Authorities and the Water Resource Information Project are taking the lead to ensure that source water is protected throughout Ontario • A Technical Working Group was formed to identify data gaps across the province – current and accurate land use information was recognized as one of the major data gaps for source water protection planning
Ontario Quick Bird Project Project Overview • Image Requirements cont’d • Detailed analysis of current data holdings across the province identified large areas where no imagery was available • Quick Bird satellite imagery was considered to offer the most detailed imagery at the most effective price • A project was put in place in March to capture approximately 125,000 sq km of imagery • Anticipated completion in 2007
QuickBird Satellite Imagery • Satellite Owned by Digital Globe • Launched 2001 • Products include: • 60 cm panchromatic • 2.4 M multi-spectral (B/G/R/IR) • Scene size = 16.5 km2 swath (272 sq km/scene)
Ontario Quick Bird Project Area of Interest
Quick Bird Project Status MNR Fire Acquisitions
Ontario QuickBird Project Funding: • Cost: $19.25 per sq km • Signed Contract for ~ $2.2 Million • Funding commitments obtained primarily from Provincial Ministries for a wide variety of business purposes • Multi user licenses established for broad use across the public sector (Federal, Provincial, Municipal, Conservation Authorities, others) • Able to display images over the internet – raw data not downloadable
South Western Ontario Orthophotography Project (SWOOP) • Project initiated out of Sarnia/Lambton to capture updated, high resolution orthophotography • Development of funding partnerships expanded beyond Sarnia/Lambton • Evolved to large project area, encompassing all of south western Ontario ~ 40,000 sq km
SWOOP Project Overview • Utilizing Digital Camera Technology • Technical Requirements • 2 levels of imagery – includes multi band data • Planning Level • 30 cm orthophotography across the whole project area • Digital surface model being collected • Engineering Level • 10 cm orthophotography in selected urban areas, Essex County and the shorelines of Lake Huron and Georgian Bay • Digital Elevation Data accurate enough to generate 50 cm contours throughout areas of interest • Spring photography – leaf off, after snow • Full delivery by Dec 2006 • Ownership and IP rights for all partners
Color Digital Collection two weeks apart: film camera vs. UltraCam UltraCam Digital: GSD 17 cm
SWOOP Partnerships • Approximately 100 private and public sector funding partners • Total Cost for all products ~ $1.6 Million • Funding based on number of organizations interested within a particular geographic area • 20 municipalities paying less than $1,000.00 (one paying $9.60 ~ 25 sq km) • Provincial and Federal Government contributions – Coordinated through LIO • Includes border areas in USA (Detroit/Port Huron) – 1km • Large Private Sector Organizations accessing whole coverage area • Hydro One • Union Gas
Imagery and Orthophoto Partnerships • Project Areas – 250,000 sq mi • Project Costs – $ 12 Million • Deliverables • Southern Ontario • : 20 – 50 cm colour orthos • : DTM • Northern and Eastern Ontario • : Multi band Quick Bird Imagery • Ownership – joint ownership of product (vendor and public sector partners) • Funding – Over 200Provincial, Municipal, Conservation Authority, Federal, Private Sector Partnerships
Forest Management Areas – Crown Land • 40% of the province • ~ 20 cm resolution • Updating imagery over the next five years • Multispectral • Includes enhanced DEM
Future Opportunities for Partnerships • Development of a strategic, coordinated, partnership funding approach to high cost data acquisition products through LIO • Cost effective method of obtaining current and accurate high resolution data • Imagery updates • Highly developed municipalities currently on a three year update cycle • Rural municipalities looking at 5 year update intervals • Need to consider products – leaf on/off, DEM
Future Challenges • Data Volume • Extremely large storage requirements • Data Distribution • Need to develop coordinated and centralized storage capacity • Compression utilities need to be effective and efficient • Raw data to be used on an as needed basis – site specific • Archiving historical imagery
