DOQQ -- Digital Orthophoto

What is the difference
between an aerial photograph and an orthophoto?
-
A conventional perspective aerial photograph contains
image displacements caused by the tilting of the camera
and terrain relief (topography). It does not have a
uniform scale. You cannot measure distances on an aerial
photograph like you can on a map. It is not a map.
-
The effects of tilt and relief are removed from the
aerial photograph by the rectification process to create
an orthophoto.
-
An orthophoto is a uniform-scale photograph. It is a
photographic map.
-
Since an orthophoto has a uniform scale, it is
possible to measure directly on it like other maps.
-
An orthophoto may serve as a base map onto which other
map information may be overlaid.
