Digital orthophoto imagery (DOI) has become an affordable and highly effective component to the modern GIS. However, a variety of considerations must be addressed in order to ensure the DOI you are investing in will meet your expecations and intended applications. This paper will identify issues critical in producing quality DOI and reveal ratings-based criteria useful in evaluating the quality and suitability of the product. Identifying and implementing these criteria into your project work flow will result in highly accurate, nonbiased DOI that will meet your expectations the first time around.
