A method of creating a orthomosaic of a corridor area, the corridor area at least partially described by a corridor path, the method comprising flying an aircraft along a primary flight line approximating the corridor path and capturing a sequence of primary images; flying the aircraft along a secondary flight line substantially parallel to the corridor path and capturing a sequence of secondary images; identifying, in the primary images and secondary images, common features corresponding to common ground points; estimating, via bundle adjustment and from the common ground points, an exterior orientation associated with each primary image and a three-dimensional position associated with each ground point; orthorectifying, using at least some of the exterior orientations and at least some of the three-dimensional ground point positions, at least some of the primary images; and merging the orthorectified primary images to create the orthomosaic.
