Remote sensing

Remote sensingis the acquisition of information

about an object or phenomenon without making
physical contact with the object.

Why remote sensing is important?

Large area coverage is possible with
identification of features
Map revision is economical and faster
Areas where humans cannot invade
can be viewed and can be studied
(Volcanoes)
Visiting planets in solar system is
also a process under remote sensing

How objects are viewed by an eye?

(The same principle is employed in the process of remote sensing)
