Aerial Photography：
Aerial photograph is made from photography system installed in airplane or other aircraft. It takes picture of scenery and things on the surface of the earth. The carrier of aerial photograph is generally airplane or low-altitude aircraft, of which the elevation is much lower than the satellite, therefore the capacity of spatial resolution is generally higher than the satellite, and the sharpness of the land substance is comparatively high. The aerial photographs our bureau providing are of the year 1941, 1980, 1988, 1993 and 1998. There are more precise large zonal aerial photographs in those of the year 1980, 1988 and 1993.
