Abstract
Stand Up Straight: A True Ortho Perspective on Downtown DenverTrack: Remote Sensing Imagery
Author(s): Lisa Marie Haskell, Rob O'Donnell
Digital orthophoto imagery has become a popular base layer in modern GIS. This paper presents a little twist on the standard variety of digital orthophotography. Through the use of the True Ortho method, we are able to produce imagery that is rectified without building lean. Using Denver, Colorado, as an example, imagery is produced with skyscrapers that rectify to their upright position in geographic space. Surrounding streets and other cultural features are clearly visible where they ordinarily would not be with a standard orthophoto. This innovation provides an opportunity to capture more cadastral information from digital orthophoto imagery.
