Remote sensing and GIS →

Remote sensing and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are two complementary technologies used in the collection, analysis, and interpretation of geospatial data. They have distinct but interrelated roles in the field of geospatial information management and analysis:

Remote Sensing:

• Remote sensing refers to the process of acquiring information about the Earth's surface from a distance, typically using sensors onboard satellites, aircraft, drones, or ground-based instruments.
• Remote sensing systems capture data in the form of imagery, which can include optical (visible and infrared), thermal, radar, LiDAR, and other types of data.
• Remote sensing is used to gather information about the Earth's surface, including land cover, land use, topography, vegetation health, temperature, precipitation, and more.
• Remote sensing is particularly useful for monitoring environmental changes, disaster management, agriculture, forestry, urban planning, and natural resource management.
