Way of collecting information from a distance with satellite or other devices?
remote sensing
What is the importance of atmospheric window in remote sensing?
tells what actually happens in the atmosphere
The type of remote sensing which penetrates clouds at night for accurate terrain representation?
radar
Is the type of remote sensing imagery best suited to use at night?
Thermal infrared.
What is a relatively new field in which satellite images are used to study the surface of the earth?
remote sensing
When was Indian Institute of Remote Sensing created?
Indian Institute of Remote Sensing was created in 1966.
When was Pakistan Remote Sensing Satellite created?
Pakistan Remote Sensing Satellite was created in 2011.
Way of collecting information from a distance with satellite or other devices?
remote sensing
Importance of remote sensing in civil engineering?
remote sensing
Active and passive remote sensing?
Remote sensing transmits energy that allows an image to be formed. Passive remote sensing collects energy that is reflected or emitted from a surface.
What is a observation of earth remote-sensing satellite?
Explain how the remote sensing satellites examined the earth from the space?
What are some non-satellite remote sensing technology?
What are some non-satellite remote sensing technology?
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 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.
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.
