KyFromAbove released Phase 3 aerial photography, including oblique imagery, in Spring 2025. The images are available to download and are open data. However, finding the right set of images to download might be a task.
This viewer allows you to zoom in and see the available images for each exposure point, which takes 5 images: one nadir and four at cardinal directions. With 885,789 exposures, that’s over 4.4 million images, which range between 40 MB and 100 MB at roughly 10k x 15k pixels per image.
You can interactively search and download them through this website:
boydx.github.io/phase-3-oblique-centroids
You can interactively
- toggle between oblique image centroids and exposure points (the paper airplane symbol),
- discover the cardinal direction of each exposure,
- place approximate frame extents for each selected oblique centroid,
- interactively download full-resolution images, and
- download a GeoJSON of these polygons with metadata in its attributes.
The oblique images are hosted as TIFFs on a KyFromAbove AWS S3 bucket and can be previewed on mobile devices using modern browsers.
Below are some screenshots of the viewer and oblique images.
