This course introduces the fundamental concept of remote sensing, which involves acquiring information about the Earth's surface without direct physical contact, typically through satellites, aircraft, drones, and sensors. It examines the principles of electromagnetic radiation, image acquisition, and data interpretation used in environmental monitoring, urban planning, agriculture, and resource management.
The course also traces the historical evolution of remote sensing from early aerial photography and military reconnaissance to modern satellite-based technologies, highlighting key technological advancements, major milestones, and the growing role of remote sensing in scientific research and decision-making
