Remote sensing projects can often begin with the question “Should I use aerial imagery or satellite imagery?”. This question may come up again and again over the course of long term projects where unforeseen circumstances change the ability to collect data, the reliability of the data or the scope of the work. Budgets, technology and government restrictions are under constant transformation. Looking at the key differences between aerial imagery and Very High Resolution (VHR) satellite imagery provided by European Space Imaging can shed light upon how one might better suit your needs or how they can work together to achieve optimal results for any remote sensing endeavor.
