Small-Format Aerial Photography and UAS Imagery: Principles, Techniques and Geoscience Applications details the essential role of small-format aerial photography (SFAP) captured by unmanned aerial systems (UAS) in contemporary geospatial data acquisition. This updated edition focuses on the fundamentals of image capture, photogrammetry, advanced image analysis techniques, and legal considerations when employing UAS for geoscience applications. With an emphasis on geomorphological and geological subjects, the book highlights the wide-ranging potential of SFAP, from basic documentation to complex analyses like 3D point-cloud analyses and AI classification techniques. Structured to provide detailed introductions to UAS remote sensing and image analysis methods, this book equips researchers, educators, and students in disciplines such as remote sensing, geography, and geosciences with the knowledge to apply these techniques in their own projects. This is ideal for individuals looking to enhance their understanding of SFAP and UAS imagery, offering comprehensive insights into image interpretation, enhancement, and processing.
