What the service is used for
Orthophotomaps of any scale
Orthorectified images make it possible to compile orthophotomaps of any scale for any districts for topographic, geodetic and design-survey work.
A measurement product over a large area
When the territory is not covered by a single frame, several satellite images, aerial photographs or UAV / drone frames are stitched.
Cadastral base for real estate
An orthomosaic for a unified digital cartographic base of the cadastre with subsequent overlay of cadastral-division vector layers.
Ready-made orthoregions
Ready-made seamless images for the territory of any country or region from the INNOTER and partner database, with tone matching.
Did not find your task?
Describe the territory, survey type and orthomosaic requirements. A specialist will clarify the scope of work and estimate.
What you will receive as a result of the work
01
Seamless orthomosaic
A single orthophotomap: equalising brightness and tone of several orthorectified images and stitching without mutual distortions along the join lines.
A continuous balanced image with predefined measurement and pictorial characteristics — when the area is not covered by a single frame.
What you get
- an orthomosaic (seamless image) from satellite images, aerial photographs or UAV frames
- colour balancing and histogram normalisation
- removal of mutual distortions along the stitch lines
Composition and characteristics depend on the terms of reference, survey type and quality of source materials.
02
Ready-made orthomosaics (orthoregions)
Ready-made seamless images for the territory of any country or region from the INNOTER and partner database.
Orthoregions are formed by combining orthorectified satellite or aerial images with tone matching. The database includes scales 1:10,000, 1:25,000, 1:50,000.
What you get
- ready-made orthomosaics (orthoregions) of the selected scale
- coverage of a country or region without ordering a new stitch from scratch, if the territory is in the database
- materials based on INNOTER and partner archives or data purchased from third parties
Availability of ready-made coverage depends on the territory and scale in the INNOTER and partner database.
03
Cadastral cartographic base
A unified digital cartographic base of the real-estate cadastre with subsequent overlay of cadastral-division vector layers.
Orthorectified images make it possible to compile orthophotomaps of any scale for any areas for topographic, geodetic and design-survey work.
What you get
- an orthomosaic as a base for the real-estate cadastre
- the ability to overlay cadastral-division vector layers
- a measurement product for an area not covered by a single frame
Requirements for scale, coordinate system and composition of vector layers are set by the client's terms of reference.
04
Source data and quality control
Orthorectification from satellite or aerial imagery, a digital elevation model and GCPs; QA by the Technical Control Department before product handover.
We work with INNOTER and partner data, materials purchased from third parties, and the client's images. Territories — any, including complex relief.
What you get
- provision of source data: survey, DEM, GCPs
- orthorectification of images
- quality control by Innoter's Technical Control Department (TCD)
- handover of the finished product to the client
Review of the client's materials checks completeness and quality against the task. A new survey may require permits and a timeline forecast.
How the work goes
Cost and timeline
Cost and timeline of orthomosaic creation are calculated individually and depend on the source data and requirements for the result.
- area of interest (work district)
- survey type: satellite images, aerial photographs, UAV frames
- number of images
- spatial resolution of the images
- terrain complexity
- seasonality of the work
- advance amount
- whether remote sensing data need to be purchased, or the client supplies the materials
- the INNOTER and partner database has ready-made orthomosaics (orthoregions) at scales 1:10,000, 1:25,000, 1:50,000
The cost of orthomosaic creation is calculated individually
Timelines depend on area, survey type and source data
Ready-made orthoregions — scales 1:10,000, 1:25,000, 1:50,000
What is needed for a quote
To agree the terms of reference and calculate orthomosaic creation, provide:
- what the orthomosaic is needed for, timeline, requirements for materials and the end result
- the client's materials for a completeness and quality review — or a note that data should be selected from the archive or a survey ordered
- survey type: satellite images, aerial photographs or UAV / drone frames
- area of interest (work district) and spatial resolution of the images
- terrain complexity and seasonality of the work
- whether remote sensing data need to be purchased or the client supplies the materials
If the terms of reference are not ready yet, describing the task is enough — INNOTER specialists will draft the ToR after discussion.
Describe the territory and purpose of the orthomosaic — we will clarify the source-data composition and estimate.

How an orthomosaic is created and what data are needed
The composition depends on area, survey type, number and resolution of images, relief and whether the client supplies the materials.
1
An orthomosaic (seamless image) is the result of combining (“stitching”) several orthorectified images into one continuous balanced image with predefined measurement and pictorial characteristics.
Creating an orthomosaic is equalising the brightness and tone of several orthorectified images and then stitching them into a single orthophotomap covering a large area, removing mutual distortions along the image join (stitch) lines.

Geospatial agency Innoter offers ready-made seamless images (orthomosaics) for the territory of any country or region, formed by combining several orthorectified satellite or aerial images with tone matching.
The INNOTER and partner database contains ready-made orthomosaics (orthoregions) at scales 1:10,000, 1:25,000, 1:50,000. There is experience creating unified orthomosaics of 100,000+ km² at scales 1:10,000, 1:25,000 and others.
3
Orthomosaics are created from several orthorectified images to the client's technical requirements of any complexity: from Innoter remote sensing data (purchased from third parties or from INNOTER and partner archives) and from the client's materials.
We work with any territories, including complex relief. Survey type: satellite images, aerial photographs, UAV / drone imagery. Survey data, a digital elevation model (DEM) and GCPs are used for orthorectification.

The source card lists services for creating orthorectified images and orthomosaics (links kept as in the source):
- AW3D Ortho Imagery (https://innoter.com/products/prostranstvennie-dannie/aw3d-ortho-imagery/) — high-accuracy orthorectified images of any terrain. High- and very-high-resolution Maxar/DigitalGlobe (USA) satellite images are orthorectified using AW3D Standard/AW3D Enhanced products (JAXA, Japan) as the base.
- Vivid image mosaics Maxar Technologies (https://innoter.com/products/prostranstvennie-dannie/mozaika-izobrazheniy-digitalglobe-vivid/) — a solution for map compilation and for machine-learning or artificial-intelligence data analysis.
- Dynamic (https://innoter.com/products/prostranstvennie-dannie/mozayka-dynamic/), based on Basemap+Vivid, yields a seamless, tone-balanced high- and very-high-resolution orthomosaic.
