TopoFusion gets color imagery
November 23, 2008 by Rich Owings
TopoFusion Pro 3.60 has been released, adding color aerial imagery for most of the U.S. Previously, color imagery has been restricted to the beautiful high resolution (0.25 meters/pixel) imagery available for urban areas. This new imagery is lower resolution (1 meter/pixel), but it has most of the country’s national forests, national parks, BLM lands, etc. The only weird thing is, Pennsylvania and Texas are red! I’ve included a coverage map and a YouTube demo of TopoFusion, after the jump.

FYI The Red color imagery is actually shot with color Infrared camera & film. Color IR is used for Forestry surveys to delinate the confirs from the hardwoods.
Yeah, I’m surprised though. It’s my understanding that all the imagery is from the National Agricultural Imagery Program. You would think it would be standardized!
