SWISSIMAGE and Journey through time – aerial images

The Orthophotomosaic SWISSIMAGE is a composition of analogic and digital, black-and-white and colour aerial images. An orthophoto is an aerial image in which the distortions created by the camera and the relief are corrected. The default displays the current state of the product SWISSIMAGE. The representation of data time stamps – called «journey through time» - allows to interactively explore the evolution of the landscape from 1926 to the present day based on these images.
