What are the differences between ground based research methods and remote sensing research methods?
In remote sensing, aircraft or satellites provide the platforms for sensing applications. The primary difference is that in the remote sensing methods, a lot more area can becovered in a very short period of time than with ground-based methods. There are details that cannot be resolved by the remote methods that can be determined on the ground, but there are trade offs with the two methods of investigation. More and more sophisticated way of "looking" at the ground from remote platforms continue to be developed. The location of South American temples hidden in the jungle is just one example of the capability of the remote platform.
What is term for the process of gathering information through images taken at a distance?
Remote sensing
How is active remote sensing different from passive remote sensing?
Passive remote sensing picks up wave lengths of the light spectrum occurring on their own such light in photography. Active remote sensing will send out a wavelength of the spectrum and measure how it bounces back like radar.
What is the opposite from remote sensing?
In situ?
Role of environmental management?
remote sensing helps geographers take pictures of the earths surface The design, performance and application of sensors for remote sensing of natural resources (vegetation, water, impervious surfaces, nutrients, and soil), water and energy fluxes, clouds, atmospheric pollutants, surface temperature and other land and aquatic resources is a very important front of remote sensing research to understands the physical, ecological, hydrological and environmental characteristics of surfaces and substances.
What is a observation of earth remote-sensing satellite?
Explain how the remote sensing satellites examined the earth from the space?
Why are satellites used in remote sensing?
remote sensing satellites develop highly detailed and accurate maps on earths surface.
How do satellites obtain information of the atmosphere?
Through remote sensing and spectral imaging.
What are the 2 main types of satellites?
Two main types of satellites are: Communication(s) Remote Sensing
What are Remote Sensing observational platforms?
The platforms that harbor remote sensing sensors (eg. cameras) are called remote sensing platforms. In earlier days, during military reconnaissance, pigeons attached with cameras were made to fly over areas of interest. In this case the platform is the bird. Balloons, airplanes and satellites that carry remote sensing sensors are examples of remote sensing platforms.
What is relatively new field in which satellites images are used to study the surface of the earth?
remote sensing
Way of collecting information from a distance with satellite or other devices?
remote sensing
What has the author Khanh D Pham written?
Khanh D. Pham has written: 'Sensors and systems for space applications IV' -- subject(s): Radar, Remote sensing, Congresses, Observations, Artificial satellites in remote sensing
Importance of remote sensing in civil engineering?
remote sensing
What are some of the types of information obtained by remote sensing?
Remote sensing is the examination or the gathering of information about a place from a distance. Such examination can occur with devices (e.g. - cameras) based on the ground, and/or sensors or cameras based on ships, aircraft, satellites, or other spacecraft.
