Remote-Sensing Practice and Potential

Abstract

Six essential processes that must be accomplished if use of a remote- sensing system is to result in useful information are defined as problem specification, ground control data acquisition, remote-sensor information acquisition, data manipulation, information extraction, and information presentation. Several fairly common and not so common sensor types are introduced, and some devices and information extraction and presentation techniques found to be useful in remote-sensing projects are described. An overview of the current state-of-the-art of remote sensing is presented.
