Question

The systematic arrangement of aerial photographs by strips indicating coincidence of images of well marked objects is known as:

• A. Image fusion
• B. Panorama
• C. Aerial Conjugate
• D. Aerial Mosaic

Hint:

Remember these remote sensing terms: \[ \boxed{ \begin{aligned} \text{Aerial Mosaic} &\rightarrow \text{Joined Overlapping Aerial Photographs}, \text{Panorama} &\rightarrow \text{Wide Continuous View}, \text{Image Fusion} &\rightarrow \text{Digital Combination of Images}. \end{aligned} } \] Mnemonic: “Many aerial photos together = Mosaic.”

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Concept: An Aerial Mosaic is formed by joining a series of overlapping aerial photographs in their correct relative positions so that common ground features coincide, producing a continuous photographic representation of an area.

Step 1: Understand the term. A systematic arrangement of overlapping aerial photographs with matching images of common objects is called an \[ \boxed{\text{Aerial Mosaic}} \]

Step 2: Eliminate the incorrect options. \[ \begin{aligned} A.\ \text{Image Fusion} &\rightarrow \text{Combining images digitally, not aerial photo arrangement.} B.\ \text{Panorama} &\rightarrow \text{A wide-angle continuous photograph, not an aerial strip arrangement.} C.\ \text{Aerial Conjugate} &\rightarrow \text{Not the correct term for arranging aerial photographs.} D.\ \text{Aerial Mosaic} &\rightarrow \text{Correct. It joins overlapping aerial photographs into one image.}\checkmark \end{aligned} \] Hence, \[ \boxed{\text{(D)}} \]
