Infrared Aerial Photo

Infrared Aerial Photography are images captured via satellite or by high flying aircraft. As we know, light and energy are emitted from the sun.  The types of light emitted are divided into visible and invisible spectrums. The invisible near-infrared wavelengths of light are captured by electronic sensors or film designed to pick-up these wavelengths. When near-infrared images are combined with visible wavelengths, the combination provides a unique way of viewing vegetation health, land formations, pollution, and other happenings on the earth's surface.
