High-resolution imagery — advantages and disadvantages.

Advantages - Urban / built-up — individual buildings, streets, parking lots, rooftops. - Agriculture — field-scale irrigation pivots, crop rows, damage assessment. - Forest — individual tree crowns, thinning patterns, plantation rows.

Question to be ready for: the difference between regular (plantation / agricultural) and irregular (natural forest) patterns — regular indicates planned / cultivated, irregular indicates natural growth.

Disadvantages - Very small footprint → many scenes needed for regional coverage. - Expensive / commercial tasking. - Data volumes are huge (see slide 17 — 13 GB for one mosaic).
