Analysts can use infrared bands to detect fire

A structure is covered by clouds but given damage to other close structures it

can be assumed that it is possibly damaged as well

Since it is not possible to look at the entirety of a

building (especially some of its side walls) debris on the ground could be the

indication of unseen damage

Damage was

not confirmed by additional radar analysis

Irregular

forces are generally more difficult to identify than more modern and mechanized

forces

Individual

soldiers cannot be seen on commercial satellite imagery

Artillery pieces generally cannot be identified on

satellite imagery

No, the

resolution is generally not good enough to see structures of this size (tents,

etc.)

Yes, but the results will differ from an analysis

using extremely high resolution. Generally, structures are not pinpointed but

one can monitor the evolution of the camp boundaries.

Yes,

exactly in the same manner as with extremely high resolution imagery

Better differentiate between types of land cover
