What is aerial imagery, and what is the difference from satellite imagery?

▤ Summary

They are successfully used when in need of: • Cartographic, vertical (nadir) imagery from different heights, taking into account detail requirements; The main advantage of satellite images is the ability to quickly obtain huge amounts of information that is impossible via aerial photography. The key difference is the speed and ease with which satellites can cover thousands of square kilometers in minutes without the complicated logistics of scheduling aircraft or drone flights. Aircraft and drones face major constraints: the user must obtain airspace permits, plan for suitable takeoff and landing points, and comply with ever-changing restrictions on inspecting the area. Due to modern spacecraft offering close to real-time satellite views of our planet, users can collect data on the same area of interest at specific intervals.
