| | aerial photography and military maps | Explanation:
I'm pretty sure "ortos" is ortofotografia/orthophotography, or aerial photography as it's more commonly known. cartas militares = military maps (it's unclear whether "militares" modifies both "ortos" and "cartas" or just "cartas," but I think it's the latter).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthophoto
"An orthophoto or orthophotograph is an aerial photograph geometrically corrected ("orthorectified") such that the scale is uniform: the photo has the same lack of distortion as a map. Unlike an uncorrected aerial photograph, an orthophotograph can be used to measure true distances, because it is an accurate representation of the earth's surface, having been adjusted for topographic relief, lens distortion, and camera tilt." |
