The true color, high resolution, seamless digital ortho-rectified aerial images are a valuable tool for real estate professionals, transportation agencies, planning officials, engineering and environmental consultants, state and local municipalities, and virtually anyone who needs high quality imagery at the best possible price.
The award winning interface, PhotoMapper™, allows you to manipulate thousands of square miles of high resolution imagery in real-time on any Windows-based computer system. PhotoMapper is fast, efficient and very easy to use. With virtually no training, you too can produce awesome aerial information in just a few minutes!
An entire city displays on your computer screen in just a few seconds, and in a few more seconds, you can enlarge the photography to a scale of 1" = 300ft. Every effort has been taken to make PhotoMapper the
fastest, easiest viewer of its kind. Multiple photographs are blended
together to form a seamless image of the entire area.

What is an ortho-rectified aerial image?
Orthorectification is a procedure that corrects geometric distortion and relief displacement in aerial photography. Variations in the terrain surface (ground relief or topography) and the perspective view of the camera lens cause these distortions. Orthorectification corrects that so the imagery accurately represents features on the ground in their true positions. This enables distances and objects to be measured with confidence.
Orthophotos will accurately show what is on the ground at the time the photograph was taken. Features on the ground, such as roads and rivers, will line up.
