Aerophotography is the art of taking photographs from the air using a camera mounted on an aircraft, drone, or helicopter. However, there are several other terms that can be used to refer to this same activity. For instance, aerial photography, aerial imaging, aerial photo mapping, and aerial surveying are all synonyms for aerophotography. The technology used for aerophotography is called photogrammetry, a technique used to interpret and measure objects on photographs taken from different angles. The use of aerophotography is crucial in fields such as cartography, urban planning, forestry, environmental studies, and archaeology. With the advances in technology, the use of drones has made aerophotography even more accessible and cheaper for those who have an interest in capturing images from above.
