Orthophoto FAQs

An orthophoto is an aerial image corrected for distortions caused by camera angle or terrain. It provides a uniform scale, making it suitable for measurements and mapping in GIS applications.

Orthophotos are used in urban planning, agriculture, insurance, and land administration. They serve as accurate base maps that allow overlays of other geospatial datasets.

Orthophotos can achieve resolutions of 2–10 cm per pixel, depending on the equipment and flight altitude. This makes them reliable for detailed planning and analysis.

Unlike raw images, orthophotos are geometrically corrected to true scale. They allow precise measurement of distances, making them ideal for engineering and mapping projects.

Yes, Naksha Tech conducts orthophoto surveys for large-scale projects including city-wide mapping, infrastructure development, and agricultural studies, ensuring fast turnaround and accuracy.

GIS FAQs

GIS (Geographic Information Systems) is a framework for capturing, analyzing, and visualizing spatial data. It helps industries discover patterns, trends, and relationships that guide better decisions.

GIS integrates multiple datasets such as demographic, environmental, and infrastructure data to provide insights. This empowers authorities and businesses to make informed choices in urban planning, disaster management, and resource allocation.

Industries like government, utilities, agriculture, real estate, and construction rely on GIS for zoning, asset tracking, and planning. GIS provides accurate mapping and visualization that streamline operations.

Yes, Naksha Tech provides GIS solutions that integrate seamlessly with enterprise IT systems. This ensures organizations can connect geospatial insights with daily workflows and operations.
