Digital Orthophotography: Production and Application

Digital orthophotography has gained popularity as a data layer in Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Land Information Systems (LIS) and Automated Mapping and Facilities Management (AM/FM) projects.

This workshop will explain the technical process of producing digital orthophotography. Topics will include ground control, aerial photography, control extensions, digital scanning, surface models, ortho-rectification, and output products.

It will also cover important considerations when planning and implementing a digital orthophotography project.

Learn about numerous applications of digital orthophotography including map revision, parcel mapping, land use mapping, soils mapping, and facilities management.

The attendees will receive valuable insight to reasons for the popularity of digital orthophotography, how to get started, and how to avoid problems.
