We have tried to get reliable sat i/r shots over the past few years . Very hard to get shots when you want . Either timing is sat passes off or it's cloud cover issues.
Drones will replace sat , or already have

I can cover a quarter at 1px:1sq meter and get visual ndvi and elevation in 30 to 45 minutes with our drone why would you bother with with sat pic?

Sat photos too much $$$. By a drone.

These technologies are still in the early stages of development.
I think satellites will eventually be cheaper than drone imagery.
It will be interesting to see what can be learned from the data over time.

So will drone tecnology, satellites images going the way of the fax machine

How do you handle the drone imagery?

How do you handle the drone imagery?

There is a web service out there called drone deploy that will process your imagery for you. It requires a pretty good internet connection and can use up a lot of data if you are on a mobile though.

The software cost to do the processing on your own computer is quite expensive ($8,000 to $10,000) for 1 license.
