The cost of land surveying, even using a modern GPS to populate a GIS, has always been resource-intensive.

The advent of remote sensing not only dramatically reduced the cost of geospatial analysis but took the field in entirely new directions. In addition to powerful reference data for GIS systems, remote sensing has made the automated and semi-automated generation of GIS data ...
