ABSTRACT
Remote sensing is defined as a technique for identifying, classifying, and determining objects, as well as obtaining information on their physical properties through analysis of the data on the objects collected by remotely located sensors that do not contact physically with objects. Usually, the data analyzed are those on the electromagnetic waves emitted from or reflected by the objects. Remote sensing, in a narrow sense, is defined as a method for retrieving the physical properties of objects around the earth by remote sensors on platforms such as aircraft and satellites.
