摘要：In aerial photography, the primary factor is terrain undulation. However, most of the external aerial photography software used for aerial photography design do not take terrain undulation influence into consideration. Therefore, the design result has comparative randomicity and “gaps” are expected. An aerial photography design system is developed by analyzing the terrain undulation influence to the design result with DEM data so that the forward overlap and side overlap can be justified according to the block terrain undulation to meet specifications or standards. The data designed by this system is compared with the real flying data. The results show that making use of DEM to assist in aerial photography design can ensure that the designed result fits the real terrain better.
