essential foundation for creating precise or thophotos
and or thomosaics," said Sandra Beckmann, BSF
Swissphoto project leader.
Once the final triangulation was done, the team integrated
an existing lidar-based digital terrain model (DTM) of
the entire AOI into the Inpho software. With the Inpho
OrthoMaster module, the software used the DTM to
automatically orthorectify the individual images with a
ground resolution of 4 cm. Switching to Inpho OrthoVista,
the photogrammetry tool for creating seamless
orthomosaics, the orthophotos were stitched together to
create a 2D orthomosaic of the entire AOI. Experienced
BSF Swissphoto operators then performed quality control
checks on each orthomosaic to finalize the seamless, color-
balanced and geometrically correct orthomosaics.
Per the ICC's requirements, the company not only
completed all 17 orthomosaics, but for each city, they
selected all the ortho tiles belonging to each city's
