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.
