Try these first

1. 1.

   What does image stitching refer to?

   Hint

   Think about merging photographs together.

2. 2.

   Define an orthomosaic.

   Hint

   • To correct image color
   • To combine images into a single view
   • To compress images

   Hint

   Focus on the idea of merging multiple views.

4. 4.

   True or False: An orthomosaic provides an accurate topographical model.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Consider how accuracy impacts the utility of mapping.

5. 5.
