[2] Every object along the flying path can be observed twice at a minimum. [2] The purpose of overlapping the aerial photography is to generate the 3D topography or relief when using a stereoscope for interpretation. [2]
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.
