Aerial photographs provide brilliant opportunities for non-intrusive landscape and site survey.
This practical one-day course will help you to confidently access and use aerial imagery as an initial assessment for desk based research. Through practical guidance and hands-on sessions this course will cover the following topics:
- Selecting your aerial images, using the archives, including online resources
- Interpretation, perception and stereoscopic viewing
- Discussion and analysis of contrasting environments from the air, and the effect of erosion and differing soils and geologies on what we see and how we interpret the photos, using contrasting examples
- Dealing with a planning scenario – comparing different photographs and LiDAR data and their assistance in the interpretation
Computer expertise is not essential. Note that a laptop is not required (despite what it says on the booking forms).
