OrthoPhoto.io Basic Training 2: Project Creation and Data Uploading

This is the second installment of our OrthoPhoto.io basic training series, comprising five informative videos. Our team has crafted these tutorials to familiarize you with all the functionalities offered by OrthoPhoto.io and to guide you in maximizing its potential for your business operations.

In this video, we will see the first step in the orthorectification process in OrthoPhoto.io, which involves (a) how to create a new project and (b) how data are provided and uploaded onto the system (video headers below):

7. Conclusion (00:02:54 – end)

OrthoPhoto.io is a web-based platform providing the tools to perform orthorectification of historical aerial imagery, i.e. imagery acquired by airborne sensors utilizing the pin-hole camera model, having fiducial marks on their frame. The final result is OGC-compliant allowing it to be integrated easily with current GIS technologies such as QGIS and ArcGIS as well as CAD software such as AutoCAD Map.
