If a map was updated with aerial photographs, this is described as being

• A. Photorevised
• B. Digitized
• C. Georeferenced
• D. Reprojected

Answer: (A)

Updating a map using aerial photographs is called photorevised. This term describes the cartographic process of refreshing the map’s features—such as roads, buildings, and land use—by comparing and integrating information from recent aerial imagery so the map reflects current conditions.

Digitized refers to converting features from a map or image into digital vector data, not specifically about updating content with new photos. Georeferenced means tying the map to a real-world coordinate system so everything lines up spatially, which is about positioning rather than updating features. Reprojected involves changing the map’s projection or coordinate system, also unrelated to the act of updating the map’s content with new imagery.

So, using aerial photographs to bring a map up to date fits the idea of photorevision.
