Remote Sensing: is the collection of information relating to objects without being in physical contact with them. Thus our eyes and ears are remote sensors, and the same is true for cameras and microphones and for many instruments used for all kinds of applications Or, said another way: Remote sensing is the process of acquiring data/information about objects/substances not in direct contact wi...

Remote sensing data is a collection of images and interpretation of information about an object, area, or event without any physical contact with it. Aircraft and satellites are common remote sensing platforms for earth and its natural sources. Remote sensing’s ability to identify and monitor land surfaces and environmental conditions expanded over years with remote sensed data being essential ...

Nowadays the use of remote sensing and Geographic Information System (GIS) is one of the most powerful cost effective tools to identify and discover the available groundwater resources. In this paper, Lithological Units, Lineaments, Slope, Topography, Drainage density, Vegetation and Isohyets lines have been achieved by stations and through remote sensing and GIS techniques. All layers of diffe...

For mapping, quantifying and monitoring regional and global forest health, satellite remote sensing provides fundamental data for the observation of spatial and temporal forest patterns and processes. While new remote-sensing technologies are able to detect forest data in high quality and large quantity, operational applications are still limited by deficits of in situ verification. In situ sam...

abstract this research was conducted in the pegah - sorkh sub-catchments area, a semi-arid region in sw iran, using geographic information systems (gis) and remote sensing (rs) to compare the erosion potential method (epm) and modified pacific southwest interagency committee (mpsiac) models in erosion-potential mapping and sediment yield assessment. the study area with approximately 4600 ha sho...

remote sensing using small spacecraft arising from multi-objective economic activity problems is getting more and more developed. these satellites require very accurate pointing to specific locations of interest, with high reliability and small latency. the space borne imaging systems always attempted to achieve the highest ground resolution possible with the available technology at the given t...

: Several remote sensing software packages are used to the explicit purpose of analyzing and visualizing remotely sensed data, with the developing of remote sensing sensor technologies from last ten years. According to literature, the remote sensing is still the lack of software tools for effective information extraction from remote sensing data. So, this paper provides a state-of-art of multi-...

A practical approach was developed in the study for drought monitoring in Guangdong province of China on the basis of vegetation supply water index (VSWI) and precipitation distance index (PDI). A comprehensive index for assessment of agro-drought severity (SADI) was then established from the normalized VSWI and PDI. Using MODIS satellite images and precipitation data from ground-observed meteo...
