Generate Accurate Orthophotos with Ease

Turn your aerial photos into accurate, high-resolution orthophotos with just a few clicks. Our powerful, cloud-based platform makes it simple—no advanced skills or expensive software required.

In the world of drone mapping software, orthophotos play a vital role in delivering precise, high-quality maps that professionals rely on for decision-making. Whether you're surveying land, managing construction projects, or conducting agricultural analysis, orthophotos provide the accuracy and detail that make drone maps truly valuable.

But what exactly is an orthophoto, and why does it matter for drone mapping?

What is an orthophoto?

An orthophoto, also known as an orthomosaic, is a georeferenced, aerial image that has been corrected for lens distortion, camera tilt, and topographic relief. Unlike a standard aerial photograph, an orthophoto has a uniform scale, which means you can take accurate measurements of distance, area, and features directly from the image. This makes orthophotos an essential product of modern drone mapping software.

How Are Orthophotos Created with Drone Mapping Software?

The process starts with a drone flight where hundreds, sometimes thousands, of overlapping images are captured from above. These images are then processed by advanced drone mapping software using photogrammetry. The software stitches the images together and corrects distortions to create a seamless, high-resolution map.

The result is an orthophoto that offers a bird’s-eye view of the landscape, with geographic accuracy down to a few centimeters—depending on the drone and software used.

Applications of Orthophotos in Drone Mapping

Orthophotos are widely used in industries like:
  • Construction and Engineering
    To monitor progress, measure volumes, and plan projects with accurate site maps.
  • Agriculture
    For crop health monitoring, field mapping, and precision farming.
  • Land Surveying and Real Estate
    To produce up-to-date maps for land assessment and property development.
  • Environmental Monitoring
    To track changes in natural landscapes and manage conservation projects.
