Building on the foundation of the bestselling first edition, Aerial Mapping: Methods and Applications, Second Edition provides you with a practical understanding of aerial photography, remote sensing, and photogrammetric mapping. The content is deliberately semi-technical and processes are discussed in a manner easily accessible to anyone regardless of their technical or scientific background. This new edition highlights the significant changes in equipment and techniques. High-speed computers, scanners, and remote sensors have changed the way mapping is done. The principles of photogrammetry, image analysis, and remote sensing have become dynamically intertwined. With the solid grounding in basic procedures that Aerial Mapping: Methods and Applications, Second Edition provides you can apply your knowledge to the special conditions of each aerial mapping project.
Deals with conventional methods of human photographic interpretation. Suitable for use a text or reference book.
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...
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
This manual is a unique and comprehensive collection of practical operating instructions and engineering fundamentals of photogrammetry. It includes references to all the important applications of the science as currently employed in the United States. Of primary importance is the fact that the manual provides in one volume, for the use of professional workers in photogrammetry, the current American practices for construction of maps including large-scale engineering-type plans, standard topographic quadrangles, and small-scale reconnaissance and planning charts -- Dust jacket.
Surveyors, engineers, geographers and many other professionals are becoming increasingly involved in the use of aerial photography to produce detailed map-sheets. Their uses range from mineral and other natural resource surveys, civil engineering site preparation, transport system planning, urban or rural development, cartography in isolated or inaccessible areas. Mr Burnside's book, which is the result of his teaching experience at one of the world's leading Land Survey centres, introduces the fundamentals, principles, techniques and the technology of this developing science.
