Remote sensing

1. [endif]INTRODUCTION Remote sensing is the non-contact recording of information from the ultraviolet, infrared, and microwave parts of the electromagnetic range by mean of instruments, such as, cameras, scanners, lasers, linear arrays and arrays situated on stages, such as, flying machine or spacecraft/rocket, and the investigation of gained data by mean of visual and computerized picture preparing. In a straightforward sense, remote sensing is the study of acquiring data about items or territories from a separation, generally from aircraft or satellites and it is centered around energy that is reflected, radiated, or scattered by the Earth and its climate from different parts of the electromagnetic range. These devices have a significantly…

technology is known as remote sensing. The term “remote sensing” was used first by Evelyn Pruitt of the U.S. Office of Naval Research in the 1950s. It is “commonly used to describe science-and art-of identifying, observing, and measuring an object without coming into direct contact with it” (Graham 1999). Remote sensing is an advanced way to predict global precipitation. Without remote sensing, predicting dangerous levels precipitation would be near impossible. Global precipitation monitoring…

Some analysis such as SPSS and GA might be used as a part of analysis, but it only could meet the needs on certain aspects. Unfortunately, techniques of green space researches only been classified generally by the main method that has been used in one study. However, the majority of researches involved more than one analysis methods. Remote Sensing could provides specific satellite data and images for monitor or analysis, GIS applications are tools that allow users to create interactive…

pre-competitive datasets are lacking, partially due to the fact that majority of the regolith maps are still produced by traditional field mapping and visual interpretation of orthophotographs or Landsat images. This can be a lengthy process, further complicated by difficult access to remote and often large survey areas. Some of the limitations of may be reduced or overcome by employing airborne geophysical data and remote sensing data (Wilford et al., 1997; Papp 2002, Woolrych and Batty, 2007;…

and water. These crops serve to capture excess agricultural nutrients following the harvest of summer crops, such as corn and soybeans, and sequester the nutrients until springtime when they can be returned to the soil at the start of the growing season. From prior research and experimentation, cover crops are shown to have beneficial effects on soil phosphorus management, winter groundcover, erosion prevention, farm profitability, pest control and the yield of following crops. Remote sensing…

First I would like to express my appreciation for this opportunity to apply for OFID Scholarship. I am a PG Diploma holder in Remote Sensing and GIS Applications of Jamia Millia Islamia University (Gold- Medalist) and awarded a Graduate degree in Geography with First Class Honours from University of Delhi, India. I have always been interested in a subject that is related to Science and Technology and has Impact on Real Life Problems thus when I Explored GIS and Remote Sensing It has the…

Loch Kinord is situated at Muir of Dinnet in Aberdeenshire, it features two man made islands called crannogs shown in figure 1. The crannogs known as Castle and Prison Island respectively were built in the 9th century using layers of tree trunks, stones and other materials and had been inhabited till around the early 14th century. To understand more about the past societies that built and used this site I am going to look at methods used in landscape archaeology, environmental archaeology and…

Approximately 345,000 or fewer chimpanzees remain in the wild, according to the International Union for the Conservation of Nature, a substantial decline from the more than 2 million that existed a hundred years ago. Humans' closest genetic cousins, chimpanzees are an endangered species, and scientists and conservationists are turning to the NASA-U.S. Geological Survey Landsat satellites to help bolster their efforts to preserve their forest homes. "Chimpanzees are in crisis," said Lilian…

Introduction With the beginning of the Space-Age, and the first iteration of Satellite Imagery, society saw progress in many fields for the betterment of welfare, security and knowledge. This new form of imagery has influenced the way we monitor, map, plan and preserve our world, as well as how we perceive our universe. This study hopes to discuss the major changes satellite imagery has had on archeology, meteorology, and political or military surveillance. It will also include a brief…

This report will highlight the difference in vegetation change from 1991 to 2011 in the southern Amazonia of Brazil. The report will do this by outlining what NDVI is and how it is derived and then analysing the specific results of Brazil. NDVI stands for Normalised Difference Vegetation Index and usually derived from satellite data, for landsat data this is usually thirty metres above the ground, to classify land cover change over a continental scale (DeFries and Townshend, 1994). When light…
