Temporal Changes of Vegetation

The images below were acquired over Parafield Airport, South Australia. They demonstrate the large temporal changes that can occur in vegetation. The images have a resolution of 1 metre and cover approximately 3.3 km x 1.8 km.

To obtain such a high resolution over a large area it is necessary to create a "mosaic". The top half of each picture was created from images collected while flying from left to right, and the bottom half while flying the return leg in the opposite direction.
