Service Description:

 The 1996 digital orthophoto displays a b/w image covering the municipal area of the City of Cape Town except for a few Malmesbury farms but including Robben Island. It was processed from 1996 aerial photography at the scale of 1:5000. Vertical aerial photography is widely used for cartography, town planning, environmental studies and engineering purposes. Aerial photography forms the basis of orthophotos which are geometrically ‘corrected’ for the effects of image perspective and terrain relief, thereby representing features in their 'true' positions. The orthophoto has a constant scale and pixel size which allows for accurate direct measurement of distances, angles and areas. The digital orthophoto is available in ECW format at 20cm GSD (ground sampling distance).
