Metric representation of the territory
Photograph and map in one representation
Orthophoto
The orthophoto describes the territory with cartographic precision. Every visible element (roads, buildings, fields, etc.) is represented in its actual position on a metric scale, as on a map. It is the result of the differential straightening of a georeferenced and geometrialised aerial image on the basis of an expressly produced digital terrain model.
True orthophoto
It is an evolution of the traditional orthophoto. By means of aerial photography, perspective deformations of buildings and structures with significant heights can be completely eliminated. Buildings, towers or pylons will be visible in their true position without lateral inclinations.
