Someone with a little training and practice can get lots of information out of these kind of "blurry" images. You can make educated guesses based on understanding of the real world.

Imagine you are looking for swimming pools to find water to fight a wild fire. All you have is a "blurry" image. That blue shape on the image could be a weirdly shaped tent or patio. And that would be very obvious on high resolution drone imagery. But 99% of the time it will be a pool and that is good enough.

All data has limitations and this is no different.



That is fair enough, I was weighing the cost of getting it wrong very highly (probably more than I should have).
