The invention relates to a cruise image based imaging method of a water-surface aerial view, which comprises the steps of: firstly, establishing an imaging system which comprises a server image processing system, a client interface display and interactive system, and a video collecting system of a cruise boat; installing a video camera and a GPS (Global Position System) device on the boat; collecting water-surface video data; processing the video data by the server image processing system to obtain a water aerial view; and inputting the water-surface aerial view into the client interface display and interactive system. A water-surface video is collected by the cruise boat, and is converted into the water aerial view. The method has the advantages of small distortion, short period, high aging performance, low investment and good compatibility, and is disturbed by less noise.
