Remote sensing
Remote sensing is the acquisition of information about an object or phenomenon without making physical contact with the object and thus in contrast to on-site observation, especially the Earth. Remote sensing is used in numerous fields, including geography, land surveying and most Earth Science disciplines (for example, hydrology, ecology , meteorology, oceanography, glaciology, geology); it also has military, intelligence, commercial, economic, planning, and humanitarian applications.

Remote sensing is the acquisition of information about an object or phenomenon without making physical contact with the object and thus in contrast to on site observation. Remote sensing is a sub-field of geography . In modern usage, the term generally refers to the use of aerial sensor technologies to detect and classify objects on Earth (both on the surface, and in the atmosphere and oceans ) by means of propagated signals (e.g. electromagnetic radiation ). It may be split into active remote sensing (when a signal is first emitted from aircraft or satellites ) [1] [2] [3] or passive (e.g. sunlight) when information is merely recorded. [4] |

Remote sensing is the small- or large-scale acquisition of information of an object or phenomenon, by the use of either recording or real-time sensing device(s) that are wireless , or not in physical or intimate contact with the object (such as by way of aircraft , spacecraft , satellite , buoy , or ship ). In practice, remote sensing is the stand-off collection through the use of a variety of devices for gathering information on a given object or area. Thus, Earth observation or weather satellite collection platforms, ocean and atmospheric observing weather buoy platforms, the monitoring of a parolee via an ultrasound identification system, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Positron Emission Tomography (PET), X-radiation (X-RAY) and space probes are all examples of remote sensing. In modern usage, the term generally refers to the use of imaging sensor technologies including: instruments found in aircraft and spacecraft as well as those used in electrophysiology , and is distinct from other imaging-related fields such as medical imaging . |

In the broadest sense, remote sensing is the short or large-scale acquisition of information of an object or phenomenon, by the use of either recording or real-time sensing device(s) that is not in physical or intimate contact with the object (such as by way of aircraft , spacecraft , satellite , buoy , or ship ). In practice, remote sensing is the stand-off collection through the use of a variety of devices for gathering information on a given object or area.

In the broadest sense, remote sensing is the measurement or acquisition of information of an object or phenomenon, by a recording device that is not in physical or intimate contact with the object. In practice, remote sensing is the utilization at a distance (as from aircraft , spacecraft , satellite , or ship ) of any device for gathering information about the environment . Thus an aircraft taking photographs, Earth observation and weather satellites , monitoring of a fetus in the womb via ultrasound , and space probes are all examples of remote sensing. In modern usage, the term generally refers to techniques involving the use of instruments aboard aircraft and spacecraft, and is distinct from other imaging-related fields such as medical imaging or photogrammetry . |
