Aerotopography
Definition
An applied branch of topography and geodesy dealing with performing topographic surveys, determining landforms, and drafting maps based on aerial photography (aerophotogrammetry) combined with complementary ground measurements. This structural method ensures the three-dimensional modeling of vast territories with increased efficiency compared to purely terrestrial methods.
