Aerial photographic and satellite image interpretation

Aerial photography is like taking a picture from high up in the sky, like a bird's eye view. A plane or helicopter takes the picture using a special camera. This is important because it can capture a view of a large area of land, like a city or farm, all at once.

Satellite image interpretation is like looking at a picture of Earth from a big camera in space. There are many satellites that orbit around Earth and take pictures of different parts of the world. These pictures show us things like oceans, mountains, and even cities.

When we look at these pictures, we have to use our eyes to understand what we're seeing. Just like when we look at a regular picture, we can see different things depending on what we're looking for. For example, we might be looking at a picture of a city and see all the tall buildings, or we might be looking at a picture of a farm and see lots of fields and crops.

Scientists and other experts use these pictures to learn more about the world we live in. They can study the land, the water, and how people are using the land. It's like solving a puzzle, but with pictures instead of pieces.
