Description

Orthophotos are an aerial photo dataset covering Estonia.

An orthophoto is a processed aerial photo from which distortions caused by terrain relief, camera tilt relative to the ground at the moment of exposure and camera central projection are removed. A digital orthophoto has a certain pixel size or resolution which shows the smallest indivisible exposed area on the ground (Ground Sampling Distance, GSD).

Orthophotos have a nationwide coverage and correspond to the scale of 1:5000-1:10000 (pixel size 20-40 cm). Orthophotos for densely-populated areas are produced with the pixel size of 10-16 cm.

The RGB dataset has three bands with nationwide coverage: red, green, and blue.
