Drones provide rapid deployment, especially crucial in time-sensitive scenarios like disaster response, where they can swiftly assess damage, locate survivors, and identify areas needing urgent aid.
Aerial imagery, often acquired at lower altitudes compared to satellites, offers significantly higher spatial resolution.
Thus, imagery offering higher spatial resolution than satellites, make them perfect for detailed mapping tasks like land surveying, urban planning, and infrastructure inspection.
