Aerial imaging is a procedure of capturing images of the ground from a raised position, usually by using a camera not held by a ground-based structure. Some of the commonly used platforms for aerial imaging include fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, drones/unmanned aircraft systems (UASs), balloons, rockets, parachutes, kites, vehicle-mounted poles, and telescopes. Aerial imagery or photography provides effective solutions that combine cost-effectiveness with high precision in order to achieve planning, volume calculations, and route design, or merely to renew existing mapping.

The commercial drone industry has witnessed significant technological advancements over the last few years. Efforts have been made to regulate the use of UAVs to ensure that safety measures are in place. The use of commercial drones for agriculture, defense, weather monitoring, and filming has been increasing. Advances in technology have made it possible to manufacture a wide variety of drones with different weights, sizes, and capabilities, so as to hold different types of payloads and sensors, making them useful for various applications. Currently, companies are working on developing applications and software to make the use of drones safer. An example of this is Snapdragon Flight by Qualcomm Technologies, a software developed to provide drones with the intelligence to perceive objects within their flight path and achieve much safer navigation. Diversity in the applications of drones has compelled enterprises to come up with considerate improvements and new long-endurance UAV technology. This, in turn, is promoting the growth of the global aerial imaging market.

However, safety issues are associated with flying in bad weather, as most aerial photographs need to be taken in good climatic conditions and in plenty of light. Hence, aerial imaging is not ideal at night and in diminished light. These limitations are expected to be mitigated by technological advancements in cameras, aerial platforms, and remote-sensing products in the near future.
