Displacement and errors
 In photography survey we try to represent 3 D surfaces
of the earth as 2D image
 Object appear in photograph are geometrically
distorted, known as relief displacement.
 Reasons for distortion
 Movement of camera
 Instability of aircraft
 Variation in altitude, tilt and speed
 Curvature of earth
 Rotation of the earth

Crab
 Opposite lines of photographs are not
parallel to flight line is Known as Crab

PLANNING FOR AERIAL
PHOTOGRAPHY
 Successful execution of any photogrammetric project
requires thorough planning prior to proceeding with the
work.
 Planning, must be done by knowledgeable and
experienced persons.
 One of the most important considerations that must be
addressed in planning
 the decision of exactly what products will be prepared,
 with their scales and
 accuracies.
Elements of planning
Spring 1998
Field Geography
 1. purpose of photogrammetry
 Wide angle photograph (152mm focal length) is
required for topographic mapping
 If area is highly wooded us f= 210 mm( standard
angle) to allow more visibility through trees
 Generally 60% overlap with 15% side lap
2 photo scale
Spring 1998
Field Geography
 It depend on the accuracy level work
 Type of the purpose of the photograph.
 Some what depend on type of plotter
3. Relief displacement
Spring 1998
Field Geography
 Relief displacement decrease as flight high increase
 Flight high increase as relief displacement decrease.
4. Tilt
Spring 1998
Field Geography
 Will cause overlap will be greater on one end than
other
 Will increase side lap on one side and decrease on other
5. Crab and drift
Spring 1998
Field Geography
 Crab- angle formed b/n flight line and edges of photo
 Drift error- Plane which is not stay on flight line.
 Commonly coursed re-flight and gaps
6. Flying height
Spring 1998
Field Geography
 Determined after side lap and overlap
 Factors affecting
 1. scale, relief displacement, and tilt
 2. precision of equipment used
Greater precision grater possibility flight height
 7. direction and orientation of the terrain
 Arrange to fly along ridge not across
Project planning
Spring 1998
Field Geography
 Successful execution of any photogrammetric project
requires thorough planning
 Must first determine the selection of products to be
prepared their scales and accuracies of areal photo, plan
metric map, Cadastral map, Digital elevation map (DEM).
flight planning
Spring 1998
Field Geography
 Success of photogrammetry project depend on
acquisition of good quality pictures
 Due to weather and ground condition, time frame for
photograph is limited
 Refight are expensive and cause long delay on project
 Mission must be carefully planned and executed
according to flight plane
 where photo should be taken and specifications
Specifications
Spring 1998
Field Geography
 Camera requirement
 Film requirement
 Scale
 Flying height
 End lap, and side lap
 Tilt and crab tolerance

Direction of flight lines

Field Geography
Weather conditions
Spring 1998
Field Geography
 Flight crew should interpret weather condition and
make sound decision on whether to fly or not fly
 Ideally cloud free < 10% cloud cover acceptable
 Cloud higher than the flight high might cause large
shadow on the ground.
 Photos for industrial areas susceptible to atmospheric
haze, smog, dust, and smoke are taken after heavy
rains
 High wind motion will difficulty in camera and aircraft
ordination.
Spring 1998
Field Geography
Photo scale
 Average photographic scale is one of the most important
variables that must be selected in planning Aerial
photographs.
 Photo scale is determined by knowing the focal length of
the camera and flight height.
Sp = f / H
 If average ground elevation is considered then,
Sp = f" / (H'-h')
Flying Height
 Once camera focal length and required average photo
scale have been selected, required flying height above
average ground is fixed in accordance with the scale.
 The flying height of the camera depends on the scale of
the photograph.
 The Aerial photograph scale depends also on the
topography or changes in elevation.
 Actual Flight Height = Flight Height + MSL
Overlaps
 The overlap of photographs in the direction of flight line is
called forwarded overlap or End Lap.
 A minimum of 55% to 65% with an average of 60% is
maintained while running a flight.
 The overlap between adjacent flight lines is known as Side
Lap.
 The side lap is maintained between 20% to 35% with an
average of 30%.
End Lap gain:
End lap gain, the distance between the centers of the
consecutive photographs along a flight path, it can be
calculated by using a formula
 Gend = Sp x W (100-Oend)/100
Where; Gend = distance between exposure station
Sp = photo scale denominator
Oend = side lap (percent)
W = width of the exposure frame (inches or cms).
Cont…
Send = photo scale denominator
Oend = end lap (%)
W = width of exposure frame (inch or cm).
Side Lap gain
 Side lap gain, the distance between the centers
of adjacent flight lines and calculated by using
following equation:
Gside = Sp x W [(100 – Oside)/100]
 Where
Gside= distance between flight line centers (feet)
Sp = photo scale denominator
Oside= side lap (percent)
W = width of the exposure frame (inches or
cms).
Cont…
Calculation of Number of strips and
photographs for a specified area.
 For a complete aerial survey a complete photographic
coverage with requisite overlaps is required.
 Once the sale of photo is decided the time interval for
successive exposure can be calculate considering the
velocity of aircraft.
 Strips are spaced at calculated distances to ensure the
required side overlap between the adjacent flights.
 a) Total area of project site = L x W
 b) No of flight line required to cover the site area
= Total width / Side lap gain
 c) No. of photo per line = Line length /End Lap
gain +1
 d) Total No. of photos = No of flight line x No of
photo per line
 e) Time interval for successive exposure can be
calculated considering the velocity of aircraft
 e.g. if the photo size is 23cm x 23cm, the overlap is 60%,
scale of photo is 1:25,000 and speed of plane is 360 km/h.
Find the time interval for successive exposure.
 Solution
 End Lap gain = Sp x W (100-end)/100
=25,000 x 23 x 40/100 = 230000 cm = 2300m.
 Speed of aero plane = 360km/hr = 360x1000/60x60
=1000 m/s.
 Time interval = End Lap gain /Spaced of plane
2300m/100m/sec = 2.3sec.
Flight Planning for Aerial
Photography
 We have a study area over Bahir dar town, 30 km wide
in east to west direction and 15 km along in the north –
south direction
 Camera focal length 152.4 mm focal length, and the sine
size is 230 mm( 9*9( format is used)
 The required scale is 1: 20,000 and the end lap and side
lap is 40 % and 20% respectively.
 The plane speed is 300km/h
Spring 1998
Field Geography
Your assignment calculate each question 4 mark
 Flight direction
 Flight height
 Ground coverage per sine or exposure
 Over lap and side lap
 If plane speed is 300 km/h calculate time b/n exposure
 No of line
 No of photo
 Note;- each question is with brief explanation and
brief procedure.
