Remote
sensing is an advanced
technique to collect data
about an object or phenomena
without being in physical
contact with that object
or that phenomena, using
electronic or photographic
equipments loaded by lift
or balloon or by low,
medium and high altitude
aircrafts, or inhabited
and unmanned spacecrafts.
Remotely sensed data are
transmitted to the ground
receiving stations, where
these data are processed
using special hardware
and software. Space images
are produced either as
hard prints or stored
in a magnetic media (CD's
and Tapes). The digital
space data can be analyzed
in order extract the needed
information by visual
interpretation and digital
processing. The results
are introduced as thematic
maps, statistical information
or demonstrative reports.
These products are submitted
to the users or decision
makers to be used in the
comprehensive development
and integrated planning
processes. :
