== == This is a complicated subject not lending itself to terse, one-sentence answers. It can be stated a good many varieties of cameras can be and are useful or adaptable to aerial Photography. Ontheother hand there are purpose built aerial cameras that are used for map making and similar tasks. a theodolite is a complex surveying instrument and a photo-theodolite would have camera attachments (usually Movie) as well for specialized time-motion studies. it should be noted that the Army Corps of Engineers rather typically refers to sextants (air or marine-they use both or did in the past) as (Vertical axis Theodolites) a spot-averaging VAT could be used in certain situaitons to photorpah and estimate the size of for exmaple this was done once on Saint Patrick"s day forget wht year- a moderate tidal wave forma safe distance. the Photo theodoite spo t averages a series of photos taken at a known time interval, usually one every two seoncds for two minutes. the rest is done in the lab. the Guiness book of records mentioned these instruments used to compute wave heights of tidal waves-the st patrick"s day wave cited. brush up your math this is heavy stuff.

What is the difference between ground level photos and oblique aerial photos?
Oblique Aerial photos are photos taken from an aerial platform where the camera has more than 3 degrees of tilt. "Ground level" photos can either refer to aerial photos taken where the lens is level with the ground or to photos taken where the camera is placed within a few inches of the ground and photo are taken from that perspective.

What is the difference between oblique aerial photos and just normal oblique photos?
oblique photoThe difference is oblique photos are at a lower angles while aerial photos are at a higher angle Improved Answer:"The biggest differences in Oblique aerial photos and normal oblique photos are perspective. A photo is classified as Oblique when the imaging sensor is capturing the photos at a user angle greater than 0 degree in an upward or downward angle.When Oblique images are captured in an aerial platform they are set at a downward angle typically between 15-45 degrees. The aerial platform is capturing data at altitudes typically ranging between 3500-5500 AGL. Camera, lens length, firing angle and capture altitude will all determine the area the photo covers.So when you compare oblique photos captured in a terrestrial manner and ones captured in the air the main difference in what you get at the end of the day is your perspective."
