Abstract

Aerial photos contain details of land features. A photo interpreter examines photos systematically and regularly utilizes other auxiliary materials such as maps and field observation reports. According to this study, interpretation is carried out according to physical nature of features and phenomena on the photos. Interpretation may be conducted at different levels of complexity, from simple recognition of phenomena on the earth to extraction of detailed information, according to complexity of the interactions between surface and sub-surface features.
