Description
Contemporary in content, Aerial Mapping encompasses state-of-the-science functional techniques of photogrammetry. Presented in a practical manner, this reference provides middle managers and technicians alike with a common foundation in the procedures of mapping from photographic or remotely sensed images. This text effectively reveals practical techniques of aerial photography, remote sensing systems, GPS surveying, spatial information collection, softcopy mapping, orthophotography, and digital mapping. Mapping project design, production methods, and cost-estimating strategies that can be applied to real-life situations are addressed. Numerous sketches, photos, and tables, as well as appendix material and several hypothetical project design/cost examples, clarify the textual discussions.
