AERIAL (Aerial Survey)

Aerial survey, or AERIAL, is a method of collecting geographic information by capturing images or data from aircraft, drones, or satellites. It allows mapping and analyzing large areas quickly and accurately, often for purposes like land use planning, environmental monitoring, or infrastructure assessment. Using specialized cameras or sensors, aerial surveys can produce detailed maps, 3D models, and topographical data. This approach minimizes ground effort and provides a comprehensive viewpoint that ground surveys might miss, making it an efficient tool for detailed spatial analysis in various industries.
