Aerial imaging refers to the process of capturing photographs or videos from an elevated position, typically using drones, aircraft, or satellites. This technology allows for the collection of detailed images of the Earth's surface, which can be used for various applications, including mapping, agriculture, and environmental monitoring. Aerial imaging provides a unique perspective that is often difficult to achieve from the ground.
The images obtained through aerial imaging can be processed and analyzed to gather valuable information. For instance, they can help in assessing crop health, planning urban development, or monitoring natural disasters. Tools like GIS (Geographic Information Systems) often complement aerial imaging to enhance data analysis and visualization.
