Ortophoto

An orthophoto, or orthophotomap, is a highly accurate aerial photograph that has been geometrically corrected to remove distortions caused by camera tilt, terrain, and perspective. This process ensures that the photo's scale is uniform across the entire image, allowing it to be used as a map. Orthophotos are useful for precise measurements, planning, and analysis in fields like land surveying, urban planning, and environmental management, providing a realistic, geographically accurate view of the Earth's surface in a single, detailed image.
