# Orthoimagery Process Labs
Look through our [process-orthoimagery-labs](https://github.com/dataforcanada/process-orthoimagery-labs) repo for the datasets processed and datasets currently being acquired. There is still lots of work to do to make it ready for systems. While the data processing workflow is still under development, you can [preview sample datasets](#download-and-preview) below.
## Development Environment
Although we prioritize open-source tools, we currently use [MapTiler Engine Pro](https://www.maptiler.com/engine/pricing) because it outperforms available open-source alternatives for this specific workflow.
## Specifications of Tile Packages
The specifications for the tile packages are defined in this code.

## The Plan
The objective is to standardize the source datasets used by Data for Canada processes. For instance, Vancouver’s orthoimagery is currently distributed in proprietary formats (MrSID and ECW) that require specialized drivers. We are currently evaluating open alternatives, such as [Cloud Optimized GeoTIFFs](https://cogeo.org/), while ensuring that the conversion process preserves full visual fidelity. Future iterations will also explore the integration of multispectral data.
