Remote sensing is the acquisition of information about an object or phenomenon, without making physical contact with the object. In modern usage, the term generally refers to the use of aerial sensor technologies to detect and classify objects on Earth (both on the surface, and in theatmosphere and oceans) by means of propagated signals (e.g. electromagnetic radiation emitted from aircraft or satellites)

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 is instantaneous field of view?

The instantaneous field of view is the solid angle subtended by a single pixel of the imaging system. In remote sensing, one can use small angle approximations so that ifov = dx / f * dy / f. dx and dy are the physical dimensions of the pixel.

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 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.

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 is the opposite from remote sensing?

The opposite of remote sensing is close-up sensing, where data is collected from objects or phenomena in close proximity to the sensor or observer. This type of sensing involves direct contact or nearness to the subject being observed, as opposed to remote sensing which involves collecting data from a distance.


Why are satellites used in remote sensing?
