  2. Aerial photographic and satellite image interpretation

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerial_photographic_and...

    The preferred orientation of an aerial photograph is closely related to the position of the Sun and the shadow element. [2] In the Northern Hemisphere, the south direction is always the position of the sun. [2] Therefore, shadows are usually formed on the north side. [2] This then affects the shadow element in aerial photographs.

  3. Aerial photograph interpretation (geology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerial_photograph...

    Aerial photograph interpretation is a method of extrapolating geological details of the ground surface from aerial images. [1] 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.

  4. Parallelogram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallelogram

    The centers of four squares all constructed either internally or externally on the sides of a parallelogram are the vertices of a square. [8] If two lines parallel to sides of a parallelogram are constructed concurrent to a diagonal, then the parallelograms formed on opposite sides of that diagonal are equal in area. [8]

  5. Pictometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pictometry

    Pictometry is a patented aerial survey technique for producing oblique georeferenced imagery showing the fronts and sides of buildings and locations on the ground. Photos are captured by low-flying airplanes, depicting up to 12 perspectives (shot from a 40-degree angle) as well as an orthogonal (overhead) view of every location flown.

  6. Rhomboid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhomboid

    Traditionally, in two-dimensional geometry, a rhomboid is a parallelogram in which adjacent sides are of unequal lengths and angles are non-right angled.. The terms "rhomboid" and "parallelogram" are often erroneously conflated with each other (i.e, when most people refer to a "parallelogram" they almost always mean a rhomboid, a specific subtype of parallelogram); however, while all rhomboids ...

  7. Base (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_(geometry)

    Any of the sides of a parallelogram, or either (but typically the longer) of the parallel sides of a trapezoid can be considered its base. Sometimes the parallel opposite side is also called a base, or sometimes it is called a top, apex, or summit. The other two edges can be called the sides.

  8. Parallelogon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallelogon

    Parallelogons have an even number of sides and opposite sides that are equal in length. A less obvious corollary is that parallelogons can only have either four or six sides; [1] Parallelogons have 180-degree rotational symmetry around the center. A four-sided parallelogon is called a parallelogram.

  9. Aerial survey - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerial_survey

    Aerial survey is a method of collecting geomatics or other imagery data using airplanes, helicopters, UAVs, balloons, or other aerial methods. Typical data collected includes aerial photography , Lidar , remote sensing (using various visible and invisible bands of the electromagnetic spectrum , such as infrared , gamma , or ultraviolet ) and ...
