Advantage and disadvantage of oblique aerial photograph in geography
Advantage:
- Provides a wide view of the landscape, allowing for a better understanding of the spatial relationships between different features.
- Can capture three-dimensional information, allowing for the visualization of terrain and topographical features.
- Helps in the identification of patterns and trends in the landscape that may not be apparent from ground-level photographs.
- Useful for interpreting and analyzing large-scale features such as landforms, urban areas, and infrastructure.
Disadvantage:
- Distortion may occur due to the angle at which the photograph is taken, affecting the accuracy of measurements and analysis.
- Limited in its ability to capture detailed information, especially in densely vegetated areas or areas with complex terrain.
- More expensive and time-consuming to acquire compared to other types of aerial photographs.
- May not provide a comprehensive view of the entire area of interest, requiring multiple photographs to cover the entire study area.
