About: Aerial photograph interpretation (geology)

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Aerial photograph interpretation is a method of extrapolating geological details of the ground surface from aerial images. It allows geologists to analyze the distinguishing geological features and structures, plant cover, past history of the site, soil properties, and topography of the study area. It is crucial in the early stage of a geological mapping as it is less time-consuming and offers important data at a minimal price. It is also commonly used in other industries, such as forest management, environmental science, disciplines of engineering, aviation accidents.

  • Aerial photograph interpretation is a method of extrapolating geological details of the ground surface from aerial images. It allows geologists to analyze the distinguishing geological features and structures, plant cover, past history of the site, soil properties, and topography of the study area. It is crucial in the early stage of a geological mapping as it is less time-consuming and offers important data at a minimal price. It is also commonly used in other industries, such as forest management, environmental science, disciplines of engineering, aviation accidents. Aerial photograph interpretation is a very important practice that is widely used in assessing the risk of landslides and other dangers in the natural environment in the geotechnical industry. As aerial photos record all the historical changes of the topography and the details of previous landslides, such as the intensity, scales, affected regions and destructions in the interested areas, it can be used to find out the characteristics and properties of project sites and decide whether the hillsides are stable or not. Geologists can further utilize the outcomes to design the most favorable locations for field studies and the acquisition of data. (en)
