Deployed on AWS
The KyFromAbove initiative is focused on building and maintaining a current basemap for Kentucky that can meet the needs of its users at the state, federal, local, and regional level. A common basemap, including current color leaf-off aerial photography and elevation data (LiDAR), reduces the cost of developing GIS applications, promotes data sharing, and add efficiencies to many business processes. All basemap data acquired through this effort is being made available in the public domain. KyFromAbove acquires aerial imagery and LiDAR during leaf-off conditions in the Commonwealth. The imagery typically ranges from 6-inches to 3-inches in resolution and is available from the kyfromabove Amazon S3 bucket in a Cloud Optimized GeoTiff format. LiDAR data acquired by the program is USGS Quality Level 2 (QL2). Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) at a 2-foot resolution, point cloud data in an LAS format, spot elevations in a geopackage format, and contours in a geopackage format are also ava[...]

- Description
- Elevation and imagery data resources for the Commonwealth of Kentucky are organized in this bucket. Elevation data are available in Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF (COG) and Geopackage formats depending on the data type. Imagery data is also available in COG format. A Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF (COG) is a GeoTIFF file optimized for hosting on a HTTP file server. COG has an internal organization that enables more efficient workflows on the cloud by supporting HTTP GET range requests, where just parts of a file are requested and returned.

- Description
- LiDAR-derived digital elevation models (DEM) for the Commonwealth of Kentucky organized in a 5000x5000 foot grid. There are currently three data resources in this folder - 1) Phase 1 LiDAR-derived DEMs at a 5 foot resolution, 2) Phase 2 LiDAR-derived DEMs at a 2 foot resolution, and 3) Phase 3 LiDAR-derived DEMs at a 2 foot resolution. All data has been converted to a Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF (COG) format. Phase 3 efforts are still underway.

- Description
- There are three data resources in this folder - 1) KyTopo Map Series quadrangles in a COG format, 2) KyTopo Map Series quadrangles with all collar information in a non-georeferenced PNG format for printing on a standard ARCH-D sized sheet, and 3) the KyTopo Map Series quadrangles tile grid in a geopackage format. The COGs were created using GDAL with JPEG compression at a 90% quality setting and the default 512x512 tile setting.
