WHAT IS REMOTE SENSING?
You perform remote sensing every day – your eyes are a sensor
A camera is a simple form of remote sensing
The observation or measurement of data from a distance
The ability to measure the properties of an object without touching it
COMPONENTS OF A REMOTE SENSING SYSTEM
• Aerial platform
• GPS Camera system- NDVI
• Raw Image processing software
• Image stitching software
FUNDAMENTALS
•Spectral Reflectance of Earth
Features
– There are three things that happen
to the sun’s energy as it reaches the
Earth:
• It is absorbed
• It is transmitted
• It is reflected
