The issue I have with a lot of these tools is they work fine when depicting relationships between tables in the same schema (talking mainly about PostgreSQL databases), but few support showing relationships between tables across different s

I can see how this is useful for laypeople. Those with a DIY attitude might resort to popular image editing tools. My choice would be trying to achieve this with Imagemagick. Fred Weinhaus' script http://www.fmwconcepts.com&

Drones can be economical for smaller areas, such as villages as mentioned in the article. For larger areas spanning hundreds of square km/miles, small UAVs won't do. Long range fixed wing UAVs or regular planes equipped with hi-re

Using satellites come with their own problems. First, this requires high resolution imagery to make out fine details. You have providers who can provide imagery with 0.3-2m resolution, but these can be expensive and not so easy to obtain. S
