Aerial Photograph

Aerial photography is the method of taking of photographs of the ground from an elevated position. The term usually refers to images in which the camera is not supported by a ground-based structure. Cameras may be hand held or mounted, and photographs may be taken by a photographer, triggered remotely or triggered automatically. Platforms for aerial photography include fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, balloons, blimps, kites and other airborne systems. Tradionaly they are produced in photogrammetric surveys, which are often the basis for topographic maps, land-use planning, archaeology, environmental studies, surveillance, commercial advertising, and other such projects.
