Orthophoto Processing
An orthophotograph is an aerial photograph that has been geometrically corrected, or “rectified,” to remove distortions caused by ground surface relief. This correction allows the image to be used as a precise map, where the scale is uniform across the entire image. Orthophotos are invaluable for a wide range of mapping applications, offering true-to-scale images for visual identification and analysis when combined with other geospatial data products like Digital Terrain Models (DTM) and contours.
At Dot Com Infoway, we specialize in creating high-quality digital orthophotos that meet your project’s needs, from urban planning to environmental monitoring and construction projects. Our orthophotos are enhanced with image processing techniques to ensure clarity and resolution that closely match the original aerial imagery.
End-to-End Orthophoto Services for Seamless Mapping Solutions
Our Orthophoto process involves multiple stages to ensure precision, clarity, and smooth integration with other mapping tools:
Orthophoto Generation / Ortho Rectification
We transform raw aerial images into accurate orthophotos by correcting distortions caused by the terrain. This ensures high-quality, consistent images for use in your mapping projects.
Seamline Editing
Our seamline editing techniques ensure that the boundary between adjacent orthophotos is invisible, creating a seamless image mosaic with no visible transitions.
Color Balancing
We use advanced color balancing methods to correct the color variations between different images, ensuring a uniform look across the entire orthophoto mosaic.
Creating Mosaics
Multiple images are carefully mosaicked together to create a comprehensive overview image, which maintains high resolution and accuracy.
Edge Matching
We apply edge matching to ensure that the edges of each image align perfectly, eliminating any discrepancies and enhancing the overall accuracy of the orthophoto.
How Our Orthophoto Process Works
We follow a systematic approach to ensure that each orthophoto meets the highest standards of accuracy and quality:
Image Collection
Aerial photographs are captured using high-resolution cameras mounted on aircraft or drones.
Orthorectification
We apply geometric corrections to the raw images to eliminate distortion caused by the terrain and camera angles.
Seamline Editing & Color Matching
Our team ensures that the individual images align perfectly, with consistent color and no visible seams.
Mosaic Creation
We combine multiple corrected images into a large, seamless mosaic that provides a complete overview of the area.
Quality Assurance
We perform a final check to ensure the accuracy of the orthophoto, comparing the position of ground control points with their true coordinates
Deliverables
Final orthophotos are provided in various formats, ready for integration with GIS systems, planning software, or as standalone reference images.

FAQs
An Orthophoto is an aerial photograph that has been corrected for distortions caused by terrain relief, ensuring that the image is to scale and can be used for accurate mapping.
Orthorectification is the process of correcting geometric distortions in aerial images to match real-world coordinates, ensuring that the scale and features are consistent across the entire image.
Color balancing ensures that there is no color discrepancy between different images, while seamline editing removes any visible lines where two images meet, ensuring a smooth, seamless mosaic.
Orthophotos are used across various industries, including urban planning, environmental monitoring, agriculture, infrastructure development, and geospatial mapping.
We ensure accuracy by using high-quality image processing techniques and comparing the rectified ground control points with their true coordinates to confirm precise alignment.
We provide Orthophotos in various formats such as GeoTIFF, JPEG, and other GIS-compatible formats, based on your project’s needs.
