Small Format Aerial Photography: Principles, Techniques and Geoscience Applications, Second Edition provides basic and advanced principles and techniques for Small Format Aerial Photography (SFAP), focusing on manned and unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and their application for environmental and geoscience research. Systems considered include drones, kites, blimps and powered paragliders, and fixed wing and copter SFAP. The authors focus on everything from digital image processing and interpretation of data to travel and set up for the best result, making this a comprehensive guide for any user. The authors utilize their own experiences in the field to describe applications of these techniques in the real world for environmental monitoring and observation, through nine case studies in a variety of environments including: gullies, high altitudes, wetlands and recreational architecture.

This new edition pulls out small unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and discusses changes in legal practices across the globe in addition to updating current chapters. It also discusses the history of SFAP and builds on this to provide background and context for new developments. A fantastic reference for anyone doing fieldwork especially in environmental and geosciences.

  • Provides background and context for new developments in SFAP and builds on this to discuss new advances
  • Covers the legal implications for small format aerial systems in different countries
  • Discusses unmanned aerial systems (drones) and their applications
  • Features new case studies for different applications, including vineyard monitoring and impacts of wind energy
