What is Remote Sensing ? How important it is ?

                                                          Remote Sensing ( A brief Introduction)

Hey there People,

In this blog I will be sharing what remote sensing is  and how significant it is ?

What Remote Sensing is?

Remote sensing is the technology of acquiring information about the earth’s surface without actually being in contact with it.

Do you know ? : Our eyes work in visible part of spectrum but it is also a Remote Sensor.

Remote Sensing is done by Sensing or recording reflected and emitted energy and processing , analysing and applying that information.

What are the different components of Remote Sensing ?

a.       Energy Source Or illumination

b.      Radiation and the atmosphere

c.       Interaction with target

d.      Recording of energy with sensor

e.      Transmission , Reception and Processing

f.        Interpretation and Analysis

g.       Application

Remote Sensing process involves an interaction between incident radiation and target of interests.

Advantages:

a.       Synoptic view

b.      Global Coverage

c.       Repeateability

d.      Multispectral

e.      Multi Resolution

f.        Near real time

g.       Systematic Data Collection

h.      The only solution to inaccessible area

i.         Generic Data

I will be writing about Historical Perspective of Remote Sensing along with its importance in my next Blog.Stay Tuned………..:-)
