Remote Sensing Remote Sensing is defined as the science and technology by which the characteristics of objects of interest can be identified, measured or analyzed the characteristics without direct contact.

Types of Sensor: Passive sensors active sensors

Electro-Magnetic Radiation The characteristics of an object can be determined, using reflected or emitted electro-magnetic radiation, from the object Interactions between Matter and Electro-magnetic Radiation -absorption -penetrate -reflection The sunlight's transmission through the atmosphere is affected by absorption and scattering of atmospheric molecules and aerosols
