    Study Notes

    What is Remote Sensing?

    • Remote sensing is the acquisition of information about the Earth's surface through the detection and measurement of radiation reflected or emitted by the Earth's surface.

    Interactions in Remote Sensing

    • Electromagnetic radiation (EMR) interacts with objects on the surface of the Earth in remote sensing.

    Basis for Differentiation

    • The basis for differentiating objects using different bands in remote sensing is the unique spectral signature of each object.

    Re-radiation in Remote Sensing

    • The object re-radiates the electromagnetic radiation it absorbs, which is then detected by remote sensing devices.

    Object Response to Wavelengths

    • Different objects respond differently to the same wavelength in remote sensing due to their unique physical and chemical properties, resulting in varied spectral signatures.
