DESCRIPTION:
Excellent book to view and map our world. bhuberty Small Format Aerial Photography is one of those niche areas for taking pictures from above to map our landscape. Traditionally, large format aerial cameras were used with 9" x 9" camera film to take vertical view of the landscape. For small formater aerial cameras, this means using 35 and 70mm film camera systems. For many decades, USDA was one of the largest organizations that acquried small format aerial photos over farm fields every year.With the evolution from film to digital in the last 10 years, the authors managed to update and make the transition from analog film to digital small format camera systems for imaging. Four Stars Johannes Frederi Van Graan Very good approach. Best value for money.
Many of these integrate SFAP with ground-based investigations as well as conventional large-format aerial photography, satellite imagery, and other kinds of geographic information.Full-color photographs throughoutCase studies from around the globeTechniques presented allow for image resolution impossible to match via traditional aerial photography or satellite datasetsGlossary clarifies key terms. Several case studies, primarily drawn from the geosciences, are presented to demonstrate how SFAP is actually used in various applications. Small-format Aerial Photography (SFAP) presents basic and advanced principles and techniques with an emphasis on digital cameras. As the need for geographical data rapidly expands in the 21st century, so too do applications of small-format aerial photography for a wide range of scientific, commercial and governmental purposes. Unmanned platforms are described in considerable detail, including kites, helium and hot-air blimps, model airplanes, and paragliders
