High-Resolution Ortho Mosaic Imaging
A high-resolution Ortho mosaic photograph is a detailed, georeferenced aerial or satellite image that is created by stitching together multiple overlapping photographs of a specific area. The resulting ortho mosaic combines the individual images into a single, seamless, and accurate representation of your site's landscape. Inquire below for more information.
