Abstract


Paper
Are All Orthos Created Equal?
Track: Cartography and Map Production
Author(s): Thomas Cox

This paper will present variations in orthophotography and the implications to the user. Low- and high-end solutions will be offered for a range of topics including



Absolute accuracy (ASPRS vs. NMAS)

Relative accuracy (options for edge matching)

Color balancing (how good is good enough?)

Seaming issues (splits or ghosting)

Warped buildings

Distorted bridges

Leaning buildings



These topics will also be presented in light of coarse resolution (i.e., 1-m DOQQs) and fine resolution (i.e.,0 .5- or 1-foot pixels).
