Aerial Photography and Image Interpretation
The new, completely updated edition of the aerial photography classic Extensively revised to address today's technological advances, Aerial Photography and Image Interpretation, Third Edition offers a thorough survey of the technology, techniques, processes, and methods used to create and interpret aerial photographs. The new edition also covers other forms of remote sensing with topics that include the most current information on orthophotography (including digital), soft copy photogrammetry, digital image capture and interpretation, GPS, GIS, small format aerial photography, statistical analysis and thematic mapping errors, and more. A basic introduction is also given to nonphotographic an...
Aerial Photography
This practical guide aims to show teachers how to use aerial photographs as a primary source in the classroom. The guide is supported by many colour photographs depicting British sites of all periods and includes case studies which present Roman, medieval and Victorian sites. A CD-Rom contains images for teaching use.
Interpretation of Aerial Photographs
Deals with conventional methods of human photographic interpretation. Suitable for use a text or reference book.
Interpreting Aerial Photographs to Identify Natural Hazards
Authored by a world-renowned aerial photography and remote sensing expert, Geographic Aerial Photography: Identifying Earth-Surface Hazards Through Image Interpretation is the most practical and authoritative reference available for any professional or student looking for a reference on how to recognize, analyze, interpret and avoid - or successfully plan for - dangerous contingencies. Whether they are related to natural terrain, geology, vegetation, hydrology or land use patterns - it's critical for you to be able to recognize dangerous conditions when and where they exist. Failure to adequately recognize and characterize geomorphic, geologic, and hydrologic dangers on the ground using aerial photography is one of the major factors contributing to due to natural hazards and disasters, damage to architectural structures, and often the subsequent loss of human life as a result. Aerial photographs provide one of the most prevalent, inexpensive and under-utilized tools to those with the knowledge and expertise to interpret them.
Aerial Photography and Image Interpretation for Resource Management
Covers aerial photo interpretation and photo-related topics such as photogrammetry, nonphotographic image interpretation, image formation on black and white and color films, sampling, and the energy flow profile. Deals with the study, interpretation and collection of all kinds of data over large or small geographic regions at many different degrees of intensity.
Small-Format Aerial Photography
As the need for geographical data rapidly expands in the 21st century, so too do applications of small-format aerial photography for a wide range of scientific, commercial and governmental purposes. Small-format Aerial Photography (SFAP) presents basic and advanced principles and techniques with an emphasis on digital cameras. Unmanned platforms are described in considerable detail, including kites, helium and hot-air blimps, model airplanes, and paragliders. Several case studies, primarily drawn from the geosciences, are presented to demonstrate how SFAP is actually used in various applications. Many of these integrate SFAP with ground-based investigations as well as conventional large-format aerial photography, satellite imagery, and other kinds of geographic information. - Full-color photographs throughout - Case studies from around the globe - Techniques presented allow for image resolution impossible to match via traditional aerial photography or satellite datasets - Glossary clarifies key terms
Mapping the Land
Intended for geography students who are enrolled in, or who have completed, an introductory course in remote sensing; for geography researchers; and for professors; this publication focuses specifically on those general issues regarding the organization and presentation of land use information derived from aerial imagery. Many of the ideas presented were developed in teaching geography to university undergraduates. There are seven chapters. In chapter 1, the practical significance of land use information is illustrated and modern land use surveys are discussed. Chapter 2 discusses concepts and definitions of land use, the applications of remote sensing, and the advantages and disadvantages of aerial imagery. Historical examples of land use inventory are provided in the third chapter. Chapter 4 examines principles and conventions for preparing land use maps. Manual interpretation for land use mapping is the focus of the fifth chapter. Chapters 6 and 7 deal with the machine processing of remotely sensed data and accuracy assessment, respectively. (RM)
