What is Remote Sensing?

Remote sensing is the science of acquiring information about the


Earth's surface without actually being in contact with it.

Remote sensing is the observation and measurement of objects from a


distance, i.e. instruments or recorders are not in direct contact with objects
under investigation.

Introduction to Satellite Image

Displaying an image

Band
Image data may include several bands of information.
Each band is a set of data file values for a specific
portion of the electromagnetic spectrum of reflected
light or emitted heat (red, green, blue, near-infrared,
infrared, thermal, etc.) or some other user-defined
information created by combining or enhancing the
original bands, or creating new bands from other
sources.

Image Layer Type


Continuous Image
Term used to describe raster data layers that contain quantitative
and related values or a type of raster data that are quantitative
(measuring a characteristic) and have related, continuous values.

Thematic Image
Raster data that are qualitative and categorical. Thematic layers
often contain classes of related information, such as land cover, soil
type, slope, etc.
