Aerial Photography

An aerial photograph is any photograph taken from an airborne vehicle (aircraft, drones, balloons, satellites, and so forth). Aerial photography is extensively used mainly to document surface conditions, physical boundaries, prior use and /or onsite activities at any given period in time.

In addition to interpretation of surface features, aerial photography can be used to interpret subsurface features and to produce topographic and planimetric data which are major inputs in making maps.
