A digital orthophoto quadrangle[1] (DOQ) is aerial photography or satellite imagery that has been corrected so that its pixels are aligned with longitude and latitude lines, and have a narrowly defined region of coverage. This is a widely used format introduced by United States Geological Survey.[1] The correction technique is called image rectification and is a large part of photogrammetry.[2]
