This document discusses remote sensing technology and its history. It describes how remote sensing works by gathering information from objects without direct contact through various components like energy source, sensors, transmission and processing. It outlines different types of remote sensing like passive and active, and systems used like optical, radar and lidar. It provides details on optical remote sensing systems including panchromatic, multispectral, super spectral and hyperspectral imaging. Finally, it lists some application areas of remote sensing like forestry, agriculture, hydrology and land use.

11. Optical Remote System
Optical remote sensing makes use of visible, near
infrared and short-wave infrared sensors to form images
of the earth's surface by detecting the solar radiation
reflected from targets on the ground.
12. Panchromatic Imaging System
A single channel sensor is used to detect radiation
If range of wavelength and the visible range become
same then the imagery will appear as a black and white
photograph taken from space
13. Multispectral Imaging System
Uses a multi channel detector and records radiation
with a narrow range
Brightness and color informatics are available
