Orthophoto

An orthophoto is a photograph of the Earth's surface that has been corrected for distortion and scale variations, making it a true representation of the land. Unlike regular photographs, which can be skewed by the angle of the camera, an orthophoto presents a top-down view where distances and areas can be measured accurately. These images are often used in mapping, urban planning, and environmental studies because they provide reliable details about terrain and structures, enabling better analysis and decision-making.
