An orthophoto is an aerial image that has been geometrically adjusted, or “ortho-rectified,” to ensure consistent scale throughout. This adjustment allows orthophotos to function as precise maps, enabling accurate measurement of true distances for features captured within the photograph. During the ortho-rectification process, corrections are made for lens distortion, camera angle, and topographic relief by referencing ground control points, which anchor the photograph to real-world locations with exceptional accuracy.
Orthophotos provide a highly accurate representation of the Earth’s surface, combining the detail of aerial imagery with the geometric accuracy of maps. Their uniform scale and clarity make them an essential tool for projects requiring precise spatial analysis.
Advantages of Orthophotos
Orthophotos offer unmatched benefits due to their combination of high detail and true geometry. These include:
- Accuracy: Providing reliable measurements for planimetric distances.
- Timeliness: Offering up-to-date coverage of areas for analysis.
- Versatility: Supporting a wide range of applications in planning, mapping, and project execution.
