ROCK OUTCROPS BENEATH TREES

Large-scale 70-mm color aerial photographs were used to detect and map the occurrence of weathered granite under a moderately dense eucalypt canopy. Eight combinations of film, illumination and scale were studied. The best results were obtained on color film under cloud at 1:4000 scale. The main limiting factors were dense vegetation and shadow. /Author/
