	Aerial Survey is a form of collection of geographical information using airborne vehicles. The collection of information can be made using different technologies such as aerial photography, radar, laser or from remote sensing imagery using other bands of the electromagnetic spectrum, such as infrared, gamma, or ultraviolet<ref>[[Wikipedia:Aerial Survey\| Aerial Survey on Wikipedia]]</ref>. For the information collected to be useful this information needs to be georeferenced. The georeferencing of information is usually done using GNSS with similar techniques as the techniques used for dynamic land surveying.

	Aerial Surveying is normally done using ~~maned~~ aeroplanes where the sensors (cameras, radars, lasers, detectors, etc) and the GNSS receiver are setup and are calibrated for the adequate georeferencing of the collected data. Apart from ~~maned~~ aeroplanes, other aerial vehicles can be also used such as UAVs, ~~ballons~~, helicopters.

	Usually for this type of applications, kinematic methods are used.

The techniques and algorithms used can be used in post-processing since usually the positioning data is not required in ~~realtime~~.

	The 3D visualization of the data collected by aerial surveys can be created by georeferencing the aerial photos and other sensor data (laser, radar,...) in the same reference frame, orthorectifying the aerial photos, and then draping the orthorectified images on top of the other sensors grid. It is also possible to create digital terrain models and thus 3D visualisations using multiple aerial photographs. Techniques such as adaptive least squares stereo matching are then used to produce a dense array of correspondences which are transformed through a camera model to produce a dense array of x, y, z data which can be used to produce digital terrain model and orthoimage products<ref>[[Wikipedia:Photogrammetry\|Photogrammetry in Wikipedia]]</ref>.
