Opis

Building on the foundation of the bestselling first edition, Aerial Ma pping: Methods and Applications, Second Edition provides you with a pr actical understanding of aerial photography, remote sensing, and photo grammetric mapping. The content is deliberately semi-technical and pro cesses are discussed in a manner easily accessible to anyone regardles s of their technical or scientific background. This new edition highli ghts the significant changes in equipment and techniques. High-speed c omputers, scanners, and remote sensors have changed the way mapping is done. The principles of photogrammetry, image analysis, and remote se nsing have become dynamically intertwined. With the solid grounding in basic procedures that Aerial Mapping: Methods and Applications, Secon d Edition provides you can apply your knowledge to the special conditi ons of each aerial mapping project.
