View service - Orthophotos

This service allows the visualization of a mosaic of orthophotos made for the whole Belgian territory. Access is possible through either a Web Map Service (WMS) or a Web Map Tile Service (WMTS, more powerful).

Orthophotos are digital aerial photographs that have been adjusted for lens distortion, topography and camera tilt. The orthophotographs are metrically more accurate than common aerial photographs. They are very valuable as reference information and also, for instance, for surveying parcels. The orthophotographs mosaic is created based on digital, colour aerial photographs acquired by the Belgian Regions. It is georeferenced in the Lambert2008 coordinates system. This cover is renewed every year. The orthophotographs have a minimal resolution of 25 cm.
