Techniques for the Interpretation of Remote Sensing Imagery for Highway Engineering Purposes

摘要

Traditionally the interpretation of black-and-white aerial photographs has played a significant role in highway engineering. Recent increases in the availability of different forms of remotely sensed data and improvements in interpretative techniques have now resulted in recognition of remote sensing as a valuable tool for the highway engineer. This report summarises some of the new forms of image data and specialised interpretative techniques now available which can be selectively employed to provide more information than that previously gained from standard photo-interpretation procedures.
