Remote Sensing and GIS

Remote sensing is the technology that allows for the collection of information about the Earth's surface or atmosphere from a distance.
Remote sensing relies on sensors mounted on various platforms for data collection.
GIS (Geographic Information System) is a computer-based tool that captures, stores, analyzes, and displays geographically referenced data.
The primary function of GIS is to analyze and interpret geographically referenced data.
GIS relies on spatial data, which can be collected through remote sensing technology.
GIS software enables users to capture, store, analyze, and display geographically referenced data.
The components of GIS include hardware, software, data, and people.
