SWISSIMAGE Background: The Digital Orthophotomosaic of Switzerland
The Orthophotomosaic SWISSIMAGE (Background) is a composition of digital color aerial images of Switzerland and surroundings. The orthophotos of the neighboring countries come from SPOT 5 satellite images (Airbus Defence and Space) taken in 2004 and 2005 with a ground resolution of 5 m. An orthophoto is an aerial image in which the distortions created by the camera and the relief are corrected.
