FGDC Standards ActivitiesPart 2, Digital orthoimagery (revised) of the Geographic Information Framework Data Content Standard supports exchange of orthoimagery data. It provides a base on which to collect, register, and integrate digital orthoimagery data accurately.

Part 2 specifies data content and logical structure for description and interchange of digital orthoimagery; provides guidelines for acquisition and processing of imagery; specifies documentation of those acquisition and processing steps; focuses on images sensed in the visible to near infrared portion of the electromagnetic spectrum; stresses complete and accurate reporting of information relating to quality control and standards employed in testing orthoimagery data; and includes a data dictionary based on its conceptual schema.

This revision primarily replaces analog camera references with digital sensors and recognizes satellite technology for digital orthoimagery production. This standard was revised with support from members of the American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS).
