Introduction to Remote Sensing
Remote Sensing is the collection of data by sensors not in direct contact
with the phenomena of interest. Analysis of remotely sensed images
from many different types of sensors is being applied in numerous fields
of study. In order to perform analysis on remotely sensed Imagery,
a clear understanding of the interactions within the remote sensing system
is needed. A system that depends on electromagnetic radiation requires
4 elements: a source, the sensor, interactions with the atmosphere, and interactions
with the earth's surface.
