Contents & fields

This dataset contains vertical aerial photography imagery captured by the UK Environment Agency since 2006, provided as ECW raster data in true colour (RGB), near-infrared (NIR) or 4-band (RGBN), with spatial resolution 10-50cm, ortho-rectified, projected in British National Grid OSGB 1936. Data are organised by year in 5km download ZIP files, each containing ECW tiles aligned to the Ordnance Survey grid. Also available are metadata index catalogues in GeoJSON, GPKG, SHP formats. No field-level description is provided on the source page.
