What is Orthophoto imagery?
An Ort
hophoto imagery is aerial imagery that has been digitally corrected to be perfectly in scale.
What Does This Mean?
This means all overhead perspectives are in uniform, You can draw on it, measure objects within the image with extreme accuracy; just like a conventional map.
It is capable of measuring true direction and distances free of any distortions that may have been caused by the aircraft.
What are the Advantages of Orthophoto Imagery?
Orthophotography has enormous potential, and is starting to take the role as an invaluable source of data for any projects involving land use and planning.
More Effective:
When you compare it to conventional line-mapping, it is a more cost-effective mapping tool. Further, by using orthophoto data, the speed of the entire process is very quick, making map production extremely efficient and faster then conventional mapping methods.
