2002 CRC Press LLC Chapter 15 Remote Sensing Remote Sensing Remote Sensing is the science of gathering information from a location that isdistant from the data source. Image analysis is the science of interpreting specificcriteria from a remotely sensed image. An individual may visually, or with theassistance of computer enhancement, extract information from an image, whetherit is furnished in the form of an aerial photograph, a multispectral satellite scene, aradar image, a base of LIDAR data, or a thermal Sensing is a dynamic technical field of endeavor. Between 1995 and2000 the number of users employed in these combined branches of knowledge rosefrom to million, and their commercial application values rose from $3 billionto $12 billion during the same time purpose of this Chapter is to acquaint the reader with the technology in orderto pique his/her interest in pursuing further knowledge, because these proceduresmay provide sources of pertinent information for the managers and/or techniciansinvolved in mapping or GIS projects.
