DOQ stands for Digital Orthophoto Quadrangle. It refers to a specific type of georeferenced orthorectified aerial photograph or satellite image. A DOQ is a high-resolution image that has been rectified to remove distortions caused by the Earth's curvature and the tilt or roll of the camera or sensor during capture. This process ensures that the image can be used for accurate measurements and analysis.
DOQs are divided into quadrangles, which are geographic areas that are typically one-degree wide by one-degree high in terms of latitude and longitude. These quadrangles are used as tiles or mosaics to cover large areas.
DOQs are widely used in various fields such as land management, urban planning, environmental monitoring, and natural resource exploration. They provide precise information about the ground's characteristics, including topography, land cover, and infrastructure. DOQs are often used as a base layer for creating maps and conducting spatial analysis.
To create DOQs, aerial photographs or satellite images undergo a series of processes, including photogrammetry and orthorectification. Photogrammetry involves extracting measurements and geometric data from the images, while orthorectification involves correcting the images for distortions and aligning them with a reference system such as a map projection. The resulting DOQs are typically delivered in a digital format, allowing users to access and analyze the data easily using Geographic Information System (GIS) software or other image processing tools.
