Tree Canopy 2006

Dataset created to depict approximate 2006 tree canopy cover for greater Austin, Texas area. For planning purposes only, does not represent individual trees. Data was created through unsupervised classification using ERDAS Imagine and 2006 color infrared aerial photography. Supplemental raster and vector processing was done using Spatial Analyst Tools in ESRI ArcMap 9.3. Dataset does not account for individual tree species or any metric for tree canopy height. Aerial images were flown over Austin, TX in 2006 during the "leaf-on" agricultural growing season and are sourced from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP). Data are updated every 4 years and each update is provided as a separate dataset. For historical data, search for tree canopy 2010, 2014, and 2018. The NAIP imagery resolution for 2006 is 2m (~6.6 feet). This is 4-band imagery (Red, Green, Blue, and Infrared bands) available in both true color and color-infrared. Tree canopy data is provided in both raster and vector GIS formats housed in a Geodatabase. Download and unzip the folder to get started. Please note, errors may exist in this dataset due to the variation in species composition and land use found across the study area. View the City of Austin Open Data Terms of Use
