Service Description: |
The 1995 digital orthophoto is a grayscale image covering various parts of the Cape Flats within the Cape Metro. It was produced from 1995 aerial photography at scales of 1:3000 and 1:4000, with a pixel size of 20 cm. Vertical aerial photography is widely used in cartography, environmental studies, and engineering applications. It forms the basis of orthophotos, which are geometrically corrected to remove the effects of image perspective and terrain relief, ensuring that features are represented in their true positions. The imagery was captured using Zeiss RMK A15/23 and AUG 1042 cameras. The resulting orthophoto has a constant scale and pixel size, allowing for accurate direct measurement of distances, angles, and areas. The digital orthophoto is available in ECW format with a 25 cm ground sampling distance (GSD). |
