Photoreal Alaska?

Featured Replies

Hello,

 

From what I can find, there doesn't appear to be much photoreal scenery for Alaska. I know Tongass Fjords is out there, but that only has certain areas of photoreal. The rest I guess must be Orbx-like? It looks good of course but still not "real".

 

So, I have been playing with fsearthtiles recently and was starting to think of trying to do AK using that. My biggest question that I have though is are there any good quality sources out there or what sources are the best in fsearthtiles? I've been roaming around in Google Earth to see what their images look like and they range quite a bit depending on where you are in the state. Or, anyone know of good quality geotiff sources? I wouldn't have a problem with using resample directly if it meant I could use good quality source images. By good quality, I would like 1m or better.

 

Has anyone tried? Anyone know if it's possible? Or, is there just not enough good source information out there yet?

 

Thanks.

Regards,
