Study Notes
Remote Sensing Applications and Advantages
- A common application of remote sensing is Land Use/Land Cover classification, which involves identifying and categorizing different types of land use (e.g., forests, urban areas, agricultural lands) and land cover (e.g., vegetation, water bodies, soil).
- The primary purpose of remote sensing is to gather information about the Earth's surface through the acquisition of data in the form of images, spectral signatures, or other types of data, primarily from satellites or aircraft.
- A key advantage of using remote sensing technology is its ability to collect data over large areas in a timely and cost-effective manner, allowing for efficient and accurate monitoring of environmental changes and natural resources.
