Aerial photogrammetry is a process that involves the collection and interpretation of spatial data from aerial photographs where these photographs often captured by remote sensing devices mounted on aircraft or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) serve as the foundation for generating accurate and detailed spatial models. The key to the success of aerial photogrammetry lies in …
A geophysical technique called ground penetrating radar survey (GPR Survey) uses electromagnetic waves to image and assess underlying objects where the system is made up of a receiver antenna that captures the reflections or echoes from various subsurface materials and a transmitter antenna that sends radiofrequency pulses into the earth. GIS experts can produce intricate …
The concepts of triangulation and stereoscopy are the foundation of photogrammetry where triangulation entails calculating the angles created by the point being observed, another point with known coordinates and a camera. Contrarily, stereoscopy uses minute variations in perspective between two photos taken from various angles to produce the illusion of three dimensions. What is Photogrammetry? …
The field of Geographic Information Systems relies heavily on satellite imagery to collect, analyze, and interpret spatial data. Satellite photography which is the process of using images from man-made satellites orbiting the planet to represent features or objects on Earth’s surface, has become an indispensable tool for numerous industries. Disaster Management and Response When it …
The term “satellite imagery” describes the picture of the Earth’s surface that is taken by imaging satellites in orbit around the planet where these satellites collect data at multiple wavelengths using a variety of sensors, including radar and optical ones, opening for a wide range of uses. Satellite photography has emerged as a crucial element …
Our everyday lives now wouldn’t be the same without satellite maps which offer a multitude of information for anything from environmental monitoring to navigation where satellite maps are essential for Geographic Information Systems because they provide an aerial perspective of the Earth. The visual depiction of Earth’s surface that orbiting satellites collect is called satellite …
