The document provides an overview of a presentation on remote sensing and GIS and their applications. It discusses what remote sensing is, the steps involved which include the source, sensors, and processing units. It describes different types of remote sensing based on the energy source, including passive sensors like Landsat and active sensors like LIDAR and RADAR. It outlines applications of remote sensing in areas like agriculture, natural resource management, and national security. It also provides an introduction to GIS, describing it as a computer-based information system for capturing and displaying spatially referenced data, and listing some of its functions and advantages.

- 12. Optical remote sensing In optical remote sensing , the sensors can only record the radiation in visible bands, near infrared and short wave infrared bands. Depending on the number of spectral bands used, optical remote sensing can be classified into following divisions: 1. Multispectral imaging system 2.Superspectral Imaging Systems
- 13. Thermal remote sensing Thermal infrared radiation refers to electromagnetic waves with a wavelength of between 3.5 and 20 micrometers. Nowadays, both multi- and hyperspectral thermal sensors are used
- 14. 1 mm to 1 m of electromagnetic spectrum Microwave sensing encompasses both active and passive forms of remote sensing Longer wavelength microwave radiation can penetrate through cloud cover, haze, dust, and all but the heaviest
