Mapping from Aerial PhotographsSurveyors, engineers, geographers and many other professionals are becoming increasingly involved in the use of aerial photography to produce detailed map-sheets. Their uses range from mineral and other natural resource surveys, civil engineering site preparation, transport system planning, urban or rural development, cartography in isolated or inaccessible areas. Mr Burnside's book, which is the result of his teaching experience at one of the world's leading Land Survey centres, introduces the fundamentals, principles, techniques and the technology of this developing science. |
