What you will learn

On successful completion of this course you will be able to:

  • Summarise the geometry and spectral properties of vertical aerial photographs and evaluate their importance in the use of aerial photography for deriving mapping products
  • Apply the basic principles of softcopy photogrammetry to a range of remotely sensed datasets
  • Interpret aerial photographs in the context of the physical and human environments
  • Evaluate elevation data products derived from stereo image pairs and assess their use for a range of applications
  • Prepare orthophotography from standard frame aerial photography and assess the quality of the output.
