Abstract
The method includes divisionally-capturing a target region from a platform such as an airplane () by rendering viewing angles as being different from each other as well as rendering a focal length (f, f') as being different with reference to a predetermined ground resolution, thereafter generating an elevation model () of the entire target region () in accordance with matching of elevation models () generated based on respective divisionally-captured images () between image capturing overlap regions (), and generating an orthophoto image of the entire target region by applying an orthogonal projection transformation processing to the respective divisionally-captured images () by use of altitude information of the elevation model ().
