Notes

Satellite remote sensing is (how, example) ?

the process of using detectors/sensors to collect these global spatial data and integrating them into GIS databases
The detectors/sensors collect a variety of energies on or slightly below the surface of the earth, and these energies are classified into a scheme called the Electromagnetic Spectrum.
- For example, your digital camera is an example of a detector that captures energy from the visible light category of the electromagnetic spectrum and converts that energy into a photograph

Remote sensing is observing our environment through sensors
Help know state of our planet
Can’t detect small details, can be solved using airplanes
No brains, use groundtracing to calibrate and make data more accurate
- Uses GPS
two branches of remote sensing applications - civilian and military
- Military applications involve surveillance and is confidential
remote sensing data can be analyzed separately or can be integrated with other data in a GIS database for analysis
