DOQQ (Digital Orthophoto Quarter Quads)


Digital Orthophoto Quarter Quadsare digital aerial photos that have combined the quality of a photo with the topographic qualities of a map. DOQQs are orthorectified, which removes distortion out of aerial photos so that they can be used as flat maps, this allows for more accurate measurement of distance, areas, angles, and positions. This is an image taken in 2005 of Louisiana after Hurricane Katrina and Rita hit. This photography extends from Gulfport, MS to Sabine Lake, LA and includes areas impacted by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
