Infrared Aerial Photo




This is an example of an Infrared Aerial photo of Moffett Field, California. This type of aerial photo is sensitive to light wavelengths that our eyes cannot see. Since we cannot see these wavelengths IR imagery uses false colors in order to allow us to distinguish areas in the photo. You can clearly see the difference between land and water, but you can also see differences in color where there are different types of vegetation on land.
