Quickbird Satellite Imagery - AFFM: Multispectral imagery, true colour Coordinate system: 3857 - "WGS84 Web Mercator (Auxiliary Sphere)" Abstract: Aviation and Forest Fire Management (AFFM) Quickbird consists of high resolution imagery data covering build up areas throughout Ontario but mostly the West Fire Region. This data consists of orthorectified image derivatives from the Level Basic-1B bundled imagery provided to the OMNR by Digital Globe Inc. Pansharpened images (60-70cm true color composites) are required for mapping applications that require high resolution background imagery.
