You can do a lot based on aerial imagery, but even more things you
can't derive from them, or you can only derive if you know that it is
there. I started to map fences, walls and other barriers, but informal
openings in them, their height, whether it is a wall or a fence, etc.
you can mostly not get from aerial fotos. You might be astonished when
visiting an area for real that you previously traced from aerial
imagery how much interesting detail you actually missed.

cheers,
Martin
