If the images are not oriented or the previous step is computed but not stored. An orientation is computed first, then a dense point cloud is created, based on the computed orientation. Finally a DSM & orthophoto is created, based on the computed orientation and the dense point cloud. It is equivalent to running a onestep process. For further information, see Image Processing.

The DSM is used to create orthophotos but can also be used to compare between different models.

Orthophotos can be used as background maps in Infinity. They can also be exported to onboard software, to Leica ConX, as well as to third party software.
