    Remote sensing involves acquiring information about objects without direct contact using electromagnetic radiation. There are two main types of remote sensing: passive sensing, which uses natural radiation sources, and active sensing, which uses artificial sources like radar. Different sensors detect reflected or emitted radiation across visible, infrared, and microwave wavelengths from sources on airplanes, satellites, and other platforms. Remote sensing has various applications like agriculture, environmental monitoring, geology, and disaster prediction by allowing observation and monitoring of large, inaccessible areas.

    m Remote Sensing is the science and art of

    acquiring information about material objects, area,


    or phenomenon, without coming into physical
    contact with the objects.

    m In remote sensing, information transfer is


    accomplished by use of electromagnetic
    radiations.
    m In respect to the type of Energy Resources:
    1.Passive Remote Sensing
    2. Active remote Sensing

    m In respect to the wavelength regions :


    1.Visible and Reflective Infrared Remote Sensing.
    2.Thermal Infrared Remote Sensing.
    3.Microwave Remote Sensing.
    m Sensors detect the reflected or emitted radiation from
    natural sources.

    m Some passive remote sensors are as follows:


    - Imaging Radiometer 3measures the intensity of
    EMR

     Spectrometer 3detect, measure & analyze


    iincident spectrum)

     Spectroradiometer 3measure the intensity in


    multiple wavelength bands
    m sensors detect reflected responses from objects
    that are irradiated from artificially-generated
    energy sources.

    m Some active remote sensors are as follows:


    -Radar
    Scatterometer
    Lidar 3uses laser to transmit light pulse and
    receiver with detectors to measure the
    backscattered light
