Why Orthophoto Processing?

Standard aerial photographs contain distortions due to terrain relief, camera tilt, and lens characteristics. These distortions make accurate measurements impossible and limit the usefulness of imagery for planning and analysis.

The Problem

Distorted aerial imagery leads to inaccurate measurements and planning errors

Our Solution

Precision orthorectification for accurate, measurable imagery

Orthophoto Example

True Scale

Eliminate distortions for accurate measurements across the entire image

Precise Georeferencing

Accurate positioning with survey-grade control points

Seamless Mosaicking

Create continuous image maps from multiple overlapping photos

Color Balancing

Consistent color and tone across the entire orthomosaic

Aerial Image Acquisition

High-resolution aerial photography captured with specialized cameras mounted on aircraft or drones, with significant overlap between images.

GIS Base Mapping

Ground Control Points

Survey-accurate ground control points are established and measured for precise georeferencing of the imagery.

Orthophoto Generation

Aerial Triangulation

Advanced photogrammetric processing to determine the precise position and orientation of each photograph.

GIS Base Mapping

Digital Elevation Model

Creation of a high-resolution digital elevation model to account for terrain variations during orthorectification.

Orthophoto Generation

Orthorectification

Transformation of each pixel to correct for relief displacement, camera tilt, and lens distortion.

GIS Base Mapping

Mosaicking & Color Balancing

Seamless stitching of individual orthophotos into a continuous map with uniform color and tone.

Orthophoto Generation

Quality Control & Delivery

Rigorous accuracy assessment and delivery in multiple formats for various applications.

GIS Base Mapping

Applications of Orthophotos

Urban Planning

Base maps for zoning, development planning, and infrastructure projects with accurate measurements.

Utility Mapping

Planning and maintenance of power lines, pipelines, and communication networks.

Environmental Monitoring

Tracking changes in land use, vegetation health, and natural resource management.

Cadastral Mapping

Property boundary delineation and land registration with precise spatial reference.

GIS Base Layers

Accurate background imagery for geographic information systems across various industries.

Disaster Management

Pre- and post-event imagery for damage assessment, response planning, and recovery monitoring.

Close-Range Photogrammetry

At a finer scale, our close-range photogrammetry services capture detailed 3D measurements of objects and structures. From documenting monuments and archaeological sites to industrial inspections and forensic analysis, we provide reliable models where precision matters most.
