Remote sensing provides data quickly and easily from remote, hard-to-reach areas.

Interpreting remote sensing images requires special skills and care, and data from different sources may conflict.

Remote sensing helps track changes in landscapes, both natural and human-caused.

Remote sensing can be cheaper than sending surveyors to every location needed, especially for remote areas.

Movement of the sensor relative to the target can cause image distortions.

Combining data from various sources can create confusion and misunderstandings.

Remote sensing provides information about vast areas.

It's important to check remote sensing data with on-the-ground surveys.

Analyzing remote sensing images requires specialized knowledge.

Remote sensing data can sometimes misidentify objects.
