Infrared aerial photography uses technology sensitive to infrared emulsion. Infrared is sensitive to wavelengths that are out of the range of human vision. Many color photos are produced using infrared technology. Since the wavelengths are outside of the human vision, false coloring is used when analyzing he wavelengths recorded on the film. Above is an infrared aerial photo of a highway in Baltimore. The colors portrayed are not the actual colors of the highway and the surrounding area. By using the infrared spectrum, the trees are highly distinguishable in comparison to black and white aerial photography.
