An orthophoto is simply an aerial photograph that has been scanned and ortho-rectified to remove distortions. This error removal process enables the images to be used in GIS and automated mapping systems. Orthophotos (raster data) are most commonly used as a backdrop display for other GIS point, line, and polygon, (vector) data.
