Infrared Arial Photo

http://www.achromaticplus.co.uk/index.php?page=infrared-aerial
An infrared Arial photo is a picture taken from high above the earth's surface using infrared technology.  This technology is used to capture wavelengths of light that are outside of our visual spectrum.  These photos are used widely in agriculture to easily distinguish between types of vegetation and to note crop growth.  The basic use of these maps is to notice things that would not be noticed with the human eye.  The map above is an infrared photo that easily shows the changes in vegetation along the coast.
