CONCLUSION 
In conclusion, softcopy photogrammetry can now 
perform most photogrammetric tasks at a throughput and 
accuracy better than traditional mapping tools and its 
potential is unlimited. 
Like all mapping projects, digital orthophotos are complex 
and evolving. Through the use of the latest digital 
photogrammetric technique, both projects were 
successfully completed with excellent results. This has 
definitely set a milestone for promoting digital 
orthophotos in Taiwan.
