Infrared Aerial Photo- A type of passive remote sensing. Naturally-generated radiation
that is emitted or reflected is measured and converted to an image using a broad-band sensor (receives radiation of many wavelengths and composites them into a single signal). Infrared emulsion is sensitive to wavelengths that are outside of the range of human vision, so false color is used. Differences in vegetative types are more easily distinguished in infrared photos versus black and white emulsion photos, as well as contrasts between land and water. This is an infrared aerial photo of Rome, differences between vegetation are pronounced by red and pink shades (http://cae2k.com/photos-of-roma-0/infrared-aerial-photo.html).
