    Remote sensing uses sensors on satellites or aircraft to gather information about the Earth's surface without direct contact. It detects electromagnetic radiation reflected or emitted from objects. Common types are optical, thermal, and microwave sensing. GIS integrates location data with other information to map and analyze patterns. It allows users to query data to answer questions about location, conditions, trends, and patterns. Implementing GIS provides benefits like improved data management, analysis, sharing, productivity, and decision making.

    REMOTE SENSING AND GIS

    TECHNOLOGY
    REMOTE SENSING
    DEFINITION :

    Remote Sensing is the science and art of acquiring


    information (spectral, spatial, temporal) about material
    objects, area, or phenomenon, without coming into
    physical contact with the objects, or area, or
    phenomenon under investigation.
    TYPES

     BASED ON SOURCE OF ENERGY


     BASED ON RANGE OF ELECTROMAGNETIC
    SPECTRUM
     OPTICAL REMOTE SENSING
     THERMAL REMOTE SENSING
     MICROWAVE REMOTE SENSING
    ADVANTAGES
     Cheap
     Data from inaccessible regions
     Clearly visible
     Base maps without detailed land surveys
     Easy to manipulate and combine with other
    geographic coverage
    DISADVANTAGE
     Calibrated against reality
     Pictures which are complicated
     Distinct phenomenon can be confused
     Resolution of satellite imagery is too
    coarse for detailed mapping
    Radar on satellites is also used to detect changes in the way
    that sea ice scatters radio waves.
    Scatter data is used to produce a false color image that
    indicates different ages the age of sea ice
    GIS TECHNOLOGY
    DEFINITION :

    GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION SYSTEMS is a


    computer based tool for mapping and analyzing things
    that happen on the earth.
    OBJECTIVE :
     Maximize the efficiency of Planning
    and decision making
     Provide efficient means for data
    distribution and handling
     Elimination of redundant data
    base-minimize duplication
     Capacity to integrate information
    from many sources
     Complex analysis/query involving
    geographical ` referenced data to
    generate new information.
    GIS can answer

     Location : What exists at a particular


    location
     Condition: Identify locations where
    certain conditions exist.
     Trends : What has changed since
     Patterns : What spatial patterns
    exists And
     Modeling : What if…..
    Benefits once GIS is implemented
    Geospatial data are better maintained in a standard format.
    Revision and updating are easier.
    Geospatial data and information are easier to search,
    analysis and represent.
    More value added product.
    Geospatial data can be shared and exchanged freely.
    Productivity of the staff improved and more efficient.
    Time and money are saved.
    Better decision can be made.
