ORRI, IFSAR, and LIDAR coverages for NPRA in Alaska NPRA

ORRI - An orthorectified radar image is a grayscale image of the earth’s surface.  It has been corrected to remove geometrical distortions that are a normal part of the imaging process.  Instead of being made with visible light, the radar pulses the ground with “flashes” of radio waves which accentuates features far better than traditional aerial photography.


Coverages available for Alaska:
