A conventional aerial photograph contains image displacements caused by camera lens distortion, camera tip and tilt, terrain relief, and scale. An aerial photograph does not have a uniform scale, therefore, is not a map. The effects of camera tilt and terrain relief are removed through a rectification process to create a computer file referred to as a digital orthophoto. A digital orthophoto is a uniform scale photographic image and can be considered a photographic map.
