Why Vexcel Orthos?
Not sure whether to choose drone, satellite, or aerial imagery? Each has tradeoffs, but aerial ortho imagery collected by fixed-wing aircraft, like Vexcel’s, offers many industries the ideal balance of detail, accuracy, and coverage.
Here’s why professionals choose Vexcel orthos:
Higher Resolution: View parcels, buildings, roads, and land features with up to 16 times better resolution than the best available satellite imagery.
Greater Scale: Access consistent imagery across cities, states, regions, and even nationwide without the limited coverage or airspace restrictions of drone programs.
Reliable Accuracy: Imagery is captured, processed, and aligned to strict specs and ground control points for consistent accuracy across all orthophoto products.

Improve Planning & Design
Eliminate guesswork with accurate, cloud-free ortho imagery that’s color-balanced and stitched for immediate use. Vexcel’s ortho imagery supports planning, design, and HD mapping for better infrastructure decisions.
Did You Know?
Due to camera angles, tall buildings can look like they’re leaning in raw imagery. Vexcel fixes that with TrueOrtho. We fly cities with more overlap. We stitch and process with strict QA standards.
The result? More accurate views like no building lean in this before and after.
Extract Insights with AI
Quality data fuels AI and machine learning, and companies rely on Vexcel orthos to extract meaningful features for properties, roads, mapping, and more.
Here’s an example of a few attributes extracted from a residential property in Texas.
Integrate Orthos with Ease
Bring Vexcel imagery into your preferred platform using our APIs, MapControl SDKs as well as standard map and imagery services. Or explore it directly in the Vexcel Viewer.
We also optimize our imagery to work with trusted partners like Esri to help with seamless integration.
FAQs for Vexcel’s Ortho Imagery
Q: What is an orthomosaic?
An orthomosaic is a top-down aerial image made by stitching many overlapping images into one accurate, map-ready view. It corrects distortion from camera angle, terrain, and perspective so people can measure, map, and monitor change across properties, cities, regions, and countries. Vexcel provides high-resolution orthomosaic imagery in 45+ countries and territories.
Q: What is the difference between an orthomosaic and an orthophoto?
An orthophoto is a single corrected aerial image. An orthomosaic combines many orthophotos into one larger, continuous image. In practice, orthomosaics are used when teams need consistent coverage across a broader area.
Q: What is TrueOrtho imagery?
TrueOrtho imagery is an advanced orthomosaic product designed for dense urban areas and cities. It corrects building lean, giving a cleaner top-down view of streets, rooftops, parcels, and infrastructure, especially around tall buildings. Vexcel’s TrueOrtho also goes through a strict 50-plus-step processing pipeline to deliver highly accurate imagery and reliable measurements.
Q: How is orthomosaic imagery used across industries?
Vexcel’s ortho imagery helps teams review properties, infrastructure, and land conditions at scale. Insurance teams use it for underwriting, claims, and property review. Government agencies use it for property assessment, planning, and public works. Utilities use it to inspect rights-of-way, poles, stations, vegetation, and nearby conditions. Roofing and solar companies use it to review roof conditions, measure structures, identify shading obstacles, and plan installations. Mapping and mobility teams use it to update road networks, support HD mapping, and validate changes for navigation and autonomous systems. AI and machine learning teams use orthomosaic imagery to train models, detect change, extract features such as buildings and roadways, and better understand real-world conditions.
