Vertical Photography
Vertical Photography is taken from the aircraft looking directly down and results in a photograph which resembles a map. Obviously any deviation from the perpendicular will result in a very steep oblique image and will cause distortion to the image.

As you may appreciate the only 'true' vertical portion on the image is directly in the centre (assuming the camera is at 90º to the earth), as you move across the image a slight deviation from the 'true' vertical occurs together with a phenomenon called radial distortion. This has the effect of leaning the buildings (especially tall ones) outward from the vertical centre.

Vertical imagery is used in a wide variety of planning, coordinating and cartography applications due to its consistent scale and high image resolution and can be supplied as plain images, Geo or Ortho-rectified.
