Aerial photography was one of the first fields of remote sensing and many industries still use aerial photographs for analysis. In this topic we will discuss the difference between aerial and satellite imagery as well as the digitization of imagery and digital aerial photogrammetry.
Although aerial photographs may seem like an ancient practice compared to the use of state-of-the-art satellites, digitization and digital photogrammetry are very relevant.
