Aerial Mapping By : Peter Brittain Aerial mapping usually called as Photogrammetry can be used to map large areas efficiently and faster compared to traditional surveying. It captures the horizontal and vertical features of topography of large extent of land. This method uses a series of aerial photographs to create a stereoscopic image of the area. Each aerial photograph taken should include or cover several points which has identifiable XYZ coordinates. Considering these known points, an accurate digital terrain model is developed for the surveyed area. The digital terrain model will provide you the exact horizontal and vertical information using the photos. More specifically, the Aerial photography is mainly used by:(1) Cartographers and planners who obtain detailed information and measurements from aerial photos for turning out maps. (2) Experienced and trained expert interpreters make use of aerial photos to ascertain the land-use patterns and environmental conditions including many things.
