A brief history of Remote Sensing The beginning of remote sensing starts from capturing aerial photography with the help of balloons, kites, pigeons, and gliders. In late 1908 after the development of operational aircraft, the first functional aircraft was used for aerial photography. During World War I and II the aerial photographs were used as … Read more
At present, one of the most powerful instruments for the study of climate change ecology, land use land cover changes, ocean temperature, and salinity, and forest application is satellite remote sensing, which measures the flow of radiation entering and exiting the upper atmosphere. After 1962, the term “remote sensing” became popularized, and it typically refers … Read more
General Introduction: What is Urban Heat Island ? The concept of urban heat island is defined as a zone of warmer temperatures in the center of a city produced by enhanced absorption of solar radiation by urban surfaces and by waste heat release. We call the central area an urban heat island because it has … Read more
Introduction: After the development of remote sensing technology, the study of the earth’s natural resources become easy. The term remote sensing stands for observing something from the distance. The sensing of some things can be done by using a remote sensor that is mounted on a suitable platform such as a ground-based, air-based, and satellite-based … Read more
Remote Sensing is derived from two words, REMOTE + SENSING Remote means distance Sensing means observation Remote sensing means ‘sensing an object or phenomenon, from a distance with the help of a suitable device/platform. “Colwell (1984)” Remote sensing is the acquiring of data about an object without touching it. “American Society of Photogrammetry, 1952; 1966” … Read more
