INTRODUCTION

Remote Sensing is a technique by which information is obtained about an object or


place without physical contact with it through various instruments. it uses
electromagnetic radiation to collect information about the earth's surface and
atmosphere

Remote - something which is far away

Sensing - getting information and getting data


REMOTE SENSING AND ITS COMPONENTS:
EnergySource or Illumination (A)–the first requirement for remote sensing is to
have an energy source which illuminates or provides electro magnetic energy
to the target of interest.

Radiation and the Atmosphere (B)– as the energy travels from its source
to the target, it will come in contact with and interact with the atmosphere it
passes through.This interaction may take place a second time as the
energy travels from the target to the sensor.

Interaction with the Target (C)- once the energy makes its way to the
target through the atmosphere, it interacts with the target depending on
the properties of both the target and the radiation.
Recording of Energy by the Sensor (D) - after the energy has been scattered by, or
emitted from the target, wer equire a sensor (remote-not in contact with the
target) to collect and record the electromagnetic radiation.

Transmission ,Reception ,and Processing (E)-the energy recorded by the sensor


has to be transmitted, often in electronic form, to a receiving and processing
station where the data are processed into an image(hardcopy and/or digital).

Interpretation and Analysis (F)- the processed image is interpreted, visually


and/or digitally or electronically, to extract information about the target which
was illuminated.
Application (G) - the final element of the remote sensing process is achieved
when we apply the information we have been able to extract from the imagery
about the target in order to better understand it, reveal some new information, or
assist in solving a particular problem
TYPE OF REMOTE
SENSING
Remote Sensing is mainly classified into two types based on the energy source:

1. Active Sensor

2. Passive Sensor
ACTIVE SENSOR
In this type, remote sensing systems generate energy and use that energy to
measure the energy reflected or scattered from objects.

Radar
liDAR
PASSIVE SENSOR
In this type, remote sensing systems measure the energy emitted from the sun or
other natural sources.

Optical Imaging
Thermal Imaging
USE OF REMOTE
SENSING
Agriculture: Health status of crops, irrigation requirement, detection of pests
and diseases

Botany: Forest cover, vegetation types, vegetation health

Geology: Geological structures, mineral resources, landslides

Hydrology: Water resources, water quality, floods

Meteorology: Weather forecasting, cyclones, storms

Mapping: Map Making, land use, expansion of urban areas

Disaster Management: Assessment of floods, droughts, forest fires,


earthquakes
Remote sensing is a critical technology in many rocket
systems, particularly in the following areas:
Launch Vehicles: Rockets like the Falcon 9 (SpaceX), Ariane 5 (Arianespace), and
Delta IV (United Launch Alliance)

Missile Defense Systems: Remote sensing is also used in tracking and intercepting
ballistic missiles. Systems like the SM-3 (Standard Missile-3) interceptors use
sensors to detect, track, and intercept incoming projectiles.

Earth Observation Missions: Satellites equipped with active optical remote sensing
like CALIPSO and ICESat-2 continue to monitor climate-related data.
