What action is needed if a clipped raster needs to be reused after orthorectification?

When dealing with a clipped raster in a GIS environment, especially after the process of orthorectification, georeferencing becomes vital for ensuring that the raster aligns correctly with spatial data. Orthorectification adjusts the raster to correct for distortions due to terrain relief, camera angle, and other factors, thus providing an accurate representation of the Earth's surface.

Once a raster has been orthorectified, it needs to be georeferenced if it is to be reused in conjunction with other layers of spatial data. Georeferencing involves assigning real-world coordinates to the raster so that it can align properly with existing geospatial datasets. This is critical for accurate analysis, overlay, and visualization within the GIS framework.

While saving in a different format, importing into another software, or taking no action could be options in various contexts, they do not specifically address the needs for accurate alignment and spatial integrity required post-orthorectification. The accurate georeferencing ensures that the raster data can effectively integrate with other spatial data layers, maintaining overarching data quality and usability in analysis.
