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.

Why would amapmarker use active remote sensing instead of passive remote sensing?

A mapmaker might use active remote sensing over passive remote sensing because active remote sensing provides its own source of energy to illuminate the target, allowing for more control over the data collected. This can result in better resolution and accuracy in mapping features of interest.


Why would a mapmaker use active remote sensing instead of passive remote sensing?

Active remote sensing uses its own electromagnetic radiation and use microwaves. It maps areas hard to map.


What are the main characteristics of microwave remote sensing and optical remote sensing?

Optical remote sensing is affected by cloud covers , rain etc but microwave remote sensing is not.However the optical sensors always need sun as a source of illumination while active microwave sensors don't need.


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.
