Aerial Progress

Understanding the Two Approaches to Orthomosaic Processing When you capture aerial imagery with a drone, the raw images need to be stitched together into a single, geometrically corrected composite called an orthomosaic. This process, known as orthomosaic processing, is the foundation for most drone surveying and mapping projects. How you handle that processing depends largely on the tools you choose. Two broad categories have emerged: cloud-based platforms that handle com
