The Estonian Land and Space Office has released new orthophotos created from aerial photography conducted in 2025, covering significant areas of several counties including Saare, Pärnu, and Tartu.
The Estonian Land and Space Office has unveiled a new collection of orthophotos derived from aerial surveys completed in 2025. These images are crucial for various applications, such as urban planning, environmental monitoring, and property assessment. The release is part of an ongoing effort to provide updated geographic data to the public and relevant stakeholders.
The newly available orthophotos encompass large sections of several key regions in Estonia, including Saaremaa, Pärnu, Viljandi, Tartu, and Põlva. Major cities such as Tallinn, which has been specifically flown over, are highlighted in the data, offering a rich visual resource for residents and authorities. This comprehensive survey not only enhances geographic information systems (GIS) but also supports disaster management, land use planning, and historical research.
By making these orthophotos publicly accessible, the Land and Space Office empowers citizens to engage with their local landscapes and facilitates better-informed decision-making for both government agencies and individual homeowners. As aerial imagery technology advances, such initiatives contribute significantly to the transparency and accessibility of spatial data in Estonia.
