Aerial survey is a method of collecting geomatics or other ry by using airplanes, helicopters, UAVs, balloons or other aerial methods. Typical types of data collected include aerial photography, Lidar, remote sensing (using various visible and invisible bands of the electromagnetic spectrum, such as infrared, gamma, or ultraviolet) and also geophysical data (such as aeromagnetic surveys and gravity. It can also refer to the chart or map made by analysing a region from the air. Aerial survey should be distinguished from technologies because of its better resolution, quality and atmospheric conditions (which can negatively impact and obscure satellite observation). Today, aerial survey is sometimes recognized as a synonym for aerophotogrammetry, part of photogrammetry where the camera is placed in the air. Measurements on aerial images are provided by photogrammetric technologies and methods.
Aerial surveys can provide information on many things not visible from the ground.
exposure station or air station the position of the optical center of the camera at the moment of exposure.
flying height the elevation of the exposure station above the datum (usually mean sea level).
altitude the vertical distance of the aircraft above the Earth's surface.
tilt the angle between the aerial camera and the horizontal axis perpendicular to the line of flight.
tip the angle between the aerial camera and the line of flight.
principal point the point of intersection of the optical axis of the aerial camera with the photographical plane.
isocentre the point on the aerial photograph in which the bisector of the angle of tilt meets the photograph.
nadir point the image of the nadir, i.e. the point on the aerial photograph where a plumbline dropped from the front nodal point pierces the photograph.
scale ratio of the focal length of the camera objective and the distance of the exposure station from the ground.
azimuth the clockwise horizontal angle measured about the ground nadir point from the ground survey North meridian in the plane of photograph.

The students learn several techniques for spatial mesurements, such as geodesy, aerial photogrammetry and laser scanning. They will be able to collaborate with geologists and civil engineers to master
vignette|Photogrammétrie du siège de Fazenda do Pinhal, São Carlos-SP, Brésil La photogrammétrie est une technique qui consiste à effectuer des mesures dans une scène, en utilisant la parallaxe obtenue entre des images acquises selon des points de vue différents. Recopiant la vision stéréoscopique humaine, elle a longtemps exploité celle-ci pour reconstituer le relief de la scène à partir de cette différence de points de vue. Actuellement, elle exploite de plus en plus les calculs de corrélation entre des images désormais numériques (photogrammétrie numérique).
thumb|FASOR, lidar à fluorescence expérimental utilisé pour sonder la densité de la haute atmosphère en excitant les atomes de sodium. La télédétection par laser ou lidar, acronyme de l'expression en langue anglaise « light detection and ranging » ou « laser imaging detection and ranging » (soit en français « détection et estimation de la distance par la lumière » ou « par laser »), est une technique de mesure à distance fondée sur l'analyse des propriétés d'un faisceau de lumière renvoyé vers son émetteur.
Harmful chemical compounds are released daily in warehouses, chemical plants and during environmental emergencies. Their uncontrolled dispersion contributes to the pollution of the atmosphere and threatens human and animal lives.When gas leaks occur, their ...
Our dataset consists of very high-resolution aerial images (50cm) and a digital elevation model (50cm) that covers approx. 2300 km2 of land above 2000m altitude in the southwestern part of Switzerland. Our land cover labels focus on alpine land cover that ...
One of the primary causes of non-uniform snowfall deposition on the ground in mountainous regions is the preferential deposition of snow, which results from the interaction of near-surface winds with topography and snow particles. However, producing high-r ...
