SITN Luftbilder

About

This app is used to overlay swisstopo aerial imagery with the SITN basemap.

The base URL requires three parameters:

• url: the orthophoto URL as provided in the swisstopo metadata (see links on that page: https://www.swisstopo.admin.ch/fr/imagesaerienne-en-telechargement-20241120)
• east: the east coordinate of the image center
• north: the north coordinate of the image center

Hence, the called URL would be something like:

• Docker: http://localhost:5024/?east=2559158.53&north=1203713.73&url=https://data.geo.admin.ch/ch.swisstopo.lubis-luftbilder_schwarzweiss/lubis-luftbilder_schwarzweiss_000-321-260/lubis-luftbilder_schwarzweiss_000-321-260_op_2056.tif
• Dev mode: http://localhost:5173/?east=2559158.53&north=1203713.73&url=https://data.geo.admin.ch/ch.swisstopo.lubis-luftbilder_schwarzweiss/lubis-luftbilder_schwarzweiss_000-321-260/lubis-luftbilder_schwarzweiss_000-321-260_op_2056.tif
