Basics of Orthophotography

Aerial photographs contain distortion, because they do not maintain a constant scale across the image.

Orthophotographs are more readily used for measurement and spatial analyses because they do maintain a

constant scale across the image. Orthophotographs are digital images that are produced by making

geometric corrections to scanned aerial photographs. The distortion in aerial photographs is removed

by unwarping the effects of terrain, removing the perspective projection of the camera, and by fitting

the image to a particular map projection to create an "image map" that has a uniform scale and a known

accuracy. Hence, orthophotographs can be used as a map whereas aerial photographs cannot. In computer

systems, they can be integrated with other geographic information providing a rich visual context.

For more information about orthophotography please visit the Wisconsin State Cartographers Office at
