Aerial surveying
Methods by which information about the earth's surface may be obtained by photographing it from above, as from an airplane, balloon, satellite, etc. Generally aerial photographs are used to provide visual data for complex areas and, by using known distances on the ground, other objects on the photograph can be approximately scaled. Topographic surveying can likewise be accomplished aerially by the use of photogrammetry.
