Color ortho-photo map with scale of 1: 5, 000 or 1: 2, 500 is produced by mosaic of several pieces of color ortho-photographs. While black and white mosaics of aerial photographs involve less distinctive seams at around their boundaries, color mosaics of color aerial photographs or color ortho-photographs involve discontinuities of color tones.
The objectives of this study are to remove the discontinuous seams of color mosaics by means of digital techniques for digital image processing of digitized color ortho-photographs, and to establish the methodology to produce good looking mosaics of color ortho-photo map with use of digital image output equipment.
As the results of this study, digital mosaics of color ortho-photographs with the continuously varied tones, that is, seamless mosaics can be produced by the methodology which has been developed by the authors.
