No, a walkthrough is not a type of aerial photography, but it can be a way to present aerial imagery.

Types of Aerial Photography:

Aerial photography is classified based on camera angle, altitude, and method of capture:

1. Based on Camera Angle:

  • Vertical Aerial Photography → Shot directly downward (90° angle) for maps, surveys.
  • Oblique Aerial Photography → Angled shots for artistic or reconnaissance views. Low Oblique → Horizon not visible. High Oblique → Horizon visible.

2. Based on Platform Used:

  • Drone Photography → Captured using UAVs for real estate, tourism, and surveys.
  • Satellite Photography → Taken from space, used in geography and research.
  • Aircraft Aerial Photography → Captured from helicopters or planes, common in city planning.

3. Based on Purpose:

  • Reconnaissance Aerial Photography → Used for military surveillance.
  • Cartographic Aerial Photography → For making maps and terrain models.
  • Panoramic Aerial Photography → Wide-angle shots covering large areas.

How "Walkthrough" Relates to Aerial Photography:

A walkthrough in aerial photography could mean:

  • A virtual tour using aerial images (e.g., drone footage of a property).
  • A step-by-step aerial guide through a landscape or city.
  • A cinematic flythrough showcasing a location.

Are you asking in the context of real estate, mapping, or cinematic drone shots?
