aerial view
From above, looking
An aerial view is the perspective of something seen from above, as if looking down from an aircraft or high vantage point: The aerial view showed how the city had sprawled into farmland.
Maps, photographs, and drone footage commonly provide aerial views.
The term emphasizes the bird's-eye angle rather than the method of capture.
