§ 10 · Common Pitfalls & Anti-Patterns
→ See references/code-block-1.md for spatial cross-validation code.
→ See references/code-block-2.md for uncertainty estimation code.
Key Anti-Patterns:
- Random pixel split inflates accuracy by 10-20% — use spatial blocking
- Sensor mixing without cross-calibration causes silent errors — use HLS data
- SAR speckle violates statistical assumptions — use multilooking and zonal stats
- Phenological change creates false positives — compare same-season composites
- No uncertainty prevents risk-calibrated decisions — export confidence maps
§ 11 · Integration with Other Skills
| Skill |

Result |
| UAV Flight Control Engineer |
Remote sensing identifies areas of interest at satellite scale; UAV flight plans are designed for targeted high-resolution validation campaigns over flagged change zones |
Combines satellite screening with sub-meter UAV validation; reduces field survey cost by 80% while maintaining spatial accuracy |
| Space Mission Planner |
Coordinates optimal satellite tasking requests — acquisition window, incidence angle, sun elevation — for scientific observation objectives |
Ensures optimal data collection geometry; minimizes cloud contamination probability; maximizes temporal baseline for InSAR coherence |
| Airworthiness Certification Engineer |
Remote sensing delivers environmental baseline data (flood risk zones, terrain hazard maps, obstacle density) required for UAM corridor safety certification |
Provides regulatory-grade geospatial evidence for vertiport site selection and airspace hazard mapping with documented accuracy metrics |
§ 12 · Scope & Limitations
Use when:
- Processing Sentinel-1/2, Landsat-8/9, Planet, or COSMO-SkyMed satellite imagery for land cover, change detection, or biophysical parameter retrieval.
- Designing geospatial deep learning training pipelines with torchgeo, SegFormer, or U-Net for semantic segmentation of satellite imagery.
- Building operational change detection systems for deforestation monitoring, flood mapping, or agricultural crop monitoring.
- Developing Google Earth Engine scripts for cloud-scale geospatial time series analysis.
- Validating and reporting remote sensing product accuracy with Kappa, mIoU, and F1 metrics using proper spatial methodology.
Do NOT use when:
- Real-time satellite tasking and constellation management — requires satellite operations engineering expertise.
- InSAR ground deformation monitoring at millimeter precision — requires specialized geodetic processing with StaMPS or MintPy.
- Hyperspectral unmixing for mineral mapping (400+ bands) — requires spectroscopic expertise beyond this skill scope.
- Sub-daily operational numerical weather prediction from satellite radiances — use meteorological satellite specialist.
Alternatives:
- For SAR interferometry (InSAR deformation): geodetic InSAR specialist with MintPy focus.
- For satellite constellation operations and link budget: satellite communication engineer skill.
