All About Aerial Mapping and Surveying

• The photography should be edited and checked to verify that the specifications have been met. This allows any necessary re-flights to be done as soon as possible after the date of the original photography.

• During film editing it should be verified that the coverage was adequate and the photo scale was maintained throughout the flight.

• The film should be labeled so that contact prints and diapositives can be produced for use in the aerial triangulation, orthophotography, and mapping phases of the project.

Applications for Aerial Mapping and Surveying

Many people don't realize all the different applications that use aerial mapping and surveying. These types of projects are all important to assisting in improved planning for cities, counties, companies and the government.

• GPS Surveys
• Topographic and Planimetric
• Above and below-ground utility surveys
• Geodetic control (horizontal and vertical)
• Differential GPS
• Analytical Aerotriangulation
• Topographic Surveys
• Volumetric Computations
• Manufacturing Plants - Stack Parameters for emission studies
• Planimetric Mapping
• Forest Inventories
• Cadastral Surveys Mapping
• Digital Terrain Model (DTM)
• Digital Elevation Model (DEM)
• Digital Orthophotography
• Utility Surveys
• Above and below-ground
• Airport Facility Mapping

Without aerial mapping and surveying companies; construction, municipal, and area planning would be less accurate and a lot more difficult, as well as more costly and time consuming.
