Ortho photo in GIS • GIS can show Ortho photo in a Geographical Information System • Example from Klim
Ortho photo with GIS analysis by students • A GIS project can visualize the collected data in a map • On top of an Ortho photo the students may draw the outlines of a building and add new information about every location.
Ortho photo with GIS-data • The same GIS project again • Not the map, but part of the data base made by the students is shown here
