Infrared Aerial Photo

This is an example of infrared aerial photo. Notice that all the vegetation is colored red that is what separates infrared from normal black and white. It is able to better distinguish different types of vegetation. Upon further research about this photo I found out that the reason that the football field is not red is because it is artificial turf and has a low infrared reflectance.
