Hello and have a good time. As an official expert and civil engineer with road and transportation orientation, I need to use aerial photos for further investigation in my research and undergraduate programs. Please guide me how to understand and use aerial photos of your site. Thank you and don’t be tired.
There are a lot of sources for air photography and satellite imagery. Here are some sources of GIS data:
