The proportions of the marked “court” sections are just plain wrong in relative sizes to a regulation-sized court.

The court is not centered within the fenced area - who the hell laid that out? (A: some computer jockey at googlemaps with a mouse and a graphics program).

And finally, in proportion to the size of real objects in the image, those markings on the court are much bigger than the regulation 4” width of marking lines. How could something 4 inches in width, despite being a contrasting color to the court background color, be resolved in an aerial photo taken from the altitude of this image?

Yeah, the fake markings go right over the net, lol.

Apparently, you folks have minimal experience in interpreting OHI -- and, I don't have time now to educate you very much.

Re #13, above: reading it before making "statements of fact" is recommended. The comments below are mostly general, but specifically apply to the image in #13:

1. Satellites very seldom fly directly over -- or are perfectly aligned with their imaging targets; that introduces all sorts of distortions.

2. Epstein's dirt-movers flattened off the whole top of that hill -- but Google Earth's "DEM" (Digital Elevtaion Model -- a "mesh grid" mimicking topography) still depicts the original round-topped hill. The satellite imagery is "draped over" the DEM to simulate topography / elevation changes. (In some views, GE [Google Earth' "warps" the flat hilltop and tennis court into distinctly-"bowed" curvatures.)

3. Yes, good modern public domain OHI IS high enough resolution to see regulation court stripes. In fact, I routinely observe closely-spaced. converging railroad rails at switch points, and, frequently can see the actual wires between power poles.

4. I both rotated and tilted the tennis court image to get the viewpoint/light angle right to minimize confusion due to the "moon crater effect". (You're on the Internet; look it up for yourself...)

5. The "fence" and "net" you're seeing are actually the shadows of the objects. Since the sun is low-angle, (February) and near noon, the end fences appear to be shifted toward you. The tilt I used exaggerates that effect... And, the off-axis satellite ("side-looking") position distorts apparent positions in the left-right axis.

IOW, when dealing with OHI, you can't trust your lying eyes to say, "That obviously is..." '-)
