LANDSAT 7 ETM+ / Orthophoto Fusion

This product combines up-to-date multispectral Landsat 7 data with high resolution panchromatic orthophotograhpy to produce detailed colour imagery perfectly suited for forestry planning activities.

The image on the left is an example of how Landsat data can be used to apply current information to outdated based data. This images was created from a 1997 (or possibly 1996) TRIM II orthophoto fused with Bands 5,4,3 (MIR, NIR, Red) of Landsat 7 data captured in 2000. You can view the before and after images here.

You can see that in 1997 the road connecting these cutblocks had been constructed, but the cutblocks were cleared sometime after the taking of the orthophoto and before the year 2000, when the Landsat image was collected.
