In today’s imagery marketplace, data comes from many sources and comes from many different methods of collection (aerial, satellite, drone, etc). For the purposes of this blog, we’ll explore the two major categories: satellite and aerial imagery. Aerial imagery is flown at high-resolution at low frequency. Satellite is flown at lower resolution at higher frequency. Not all collection methods are alike, and not all data is of the same resolution, angle (orthogonal vs. oblique), collection frequency, or accuracy.
