About The Project

Orthophotos provide a high-precision data foundation for various applications in remote sensing – from environmental research to urban planning. However, Germany's federal structure means that each state has its own services and interfaces for providing this data, making nationwide usage cumbersome and complex.

With this software, we offer a central, user-friendly solution that allows users to download orthophotos independently of the respective state services. The software will support various data formats, including RGB and RGBI, and enable flexible geographical queries.
