About this product
The product contains orthogonal projected (scale corrected) aerial photographs (orthophotos) with different combinations of wavelength bands and resolutions, depending on where in the country the photograph is taken and when it is taken. In an orthophoto the scale and the distance between points are not affected by the variation in the terrain, which is the case in an aerial photograph with central projection.
Important to know
Consider the following before ordering the product:
- To use this product, you need to pay a fee and sign a license agreement with terms for usage.
- This product provides access to information that you order, download and store yourself.
Maintenance and update frequency
Updating of orthophotos is carried out as new aerial photographs are available, according to The national image provision programme. New orthophotos are produced each year, covering approximately 30 % of the country, with a resolution of 0,4 m or 0,16 m and an interval of between 2 and 10 years, depending on location. Orthophotos covering the south of Sweden and areas along the east coast are produced every other year with 0,16 m resolution, alternating before and after leafing. Orthophotos with the higher resolution are also produced over some larger localities and chosen areas in other parts of the country.

Demo data
The orthophotos are presented in SWEREF 99 TM. The file name of an orthophoto index tile (5 x 5 km or 2.5 x 2,5 km) consists of the designation of the tile according to the index system, followed by the year of the orthophoto with four digits. Metadata is attached in three different GeoJSON files.

|
During the late summer of 2021, Lantmäteriet tested a combined laser scanner and flight camera. The purpose was mainly to increase knowledge about the collection of laser data. A combination sensor of the type Leica Terrainmapper-2 was used to collect various test cases. A selection is published here as test data, laser data with four color bands as well as aerial images and orthophotos. |
