     What is Remote Sensing?

    The measurement of the earth using sensors is known as remote sensing. The energy that Earth reflects back is typically detected by remote sensors to gather data. Aircraft and satellites both have these sensors in place. In order to analyse and visualise the data, remote sensors alter the images that they collect as data in the form of images. Given that GIS systems use remote sensors to visualise and analyse the data they collect, there is a relationship between GIS and remote sensors.

    Why Pursue a Postgraduate Diploma in Remote Sensing?

    Graduate students in science and technology have the option of doing a one-year diploma programme in remote sensing, which will prepare them for a career that will only become available to them once they have earned a Master's degree in the area.

    PG Diploma in Remote Sensing: Future Scope

    Numerous disciplines, including all environmental sciences, agriculture, archaeology, urban planning, water management, meteorology, engineering, and even business, employ this Remote Sensing data.

    Private businesses that provide photos and data to Google, Bing, the federal government, scientists, academic and research libraries, and others are increasingly using remote sensing. Specialists may work in consulting businesses, software development companies, and research labs where they are expected to advance software, hardware, or data analysis methods.                                                             

    How can you learn remote sensing?

    BTU provides a post-graduation diploma in Remote Sensing Technology.

    The one-year Post Graduate (PG) Diploma in Remote Sensing programme provides in-depth instruction in geographic information systems (GIS), global positioning systems (GNSS), and satellite image analysis.

    The study of soil, land, and forests, mapping, weather science, disaster management, natural resources, etc. are all sophisticated fields of knowledge that fall within the category of remote sensing.

    Graduation in science, math or engineering is the prerequisite for the course. Entrance exams are used in the admissions process.

    What will be the career opportunity after completion of this course?

    The success of the modern corporate sector, whether it be public or private, depends on accurate data collection and application.

    Complex data of grey geographic areas, whose monitoring is only possible through satellite mapping, are analysed using remote sensing technology.

    Some of the best positions for remote sensing candidates are listed below:


    Ans. - Remote sensing is the process of detecting and monitoring the physical characteristics of an area by measuring its reflected and emitted radiation at a distance (typically from satellite or aircraft).

    Ans. - Types of Remote Sensing Systems . Visual Remote Sensing System such as human visual system. . Optical Remote Sensing. . Infrared Remote Sensing. . Microwave Remote Sensing. . Radar Remote Sensing. . Satellite Remote Sensing. . Airborne Remote Sensing. . Acoustic and near-acoustic remote sensing.

    Ans. - The advantages of remote sensing include the ability to collect information over large spatial areas; to characterize natural features or physical objects on the ground; to observe surface areas and objects on a systematic basis and monitor their changes over time; and the ability to integrate this data with other

    Ans. - Detection and discrimination of objects or surface features means detecting and recording of radiant energy reflected or emitted by objects or surface material (Fig. 1). Different objects return different amounts of energy in different bands of the electromagnetic spectrum, incident upon it.

    Ans. - Visible and Infrared Image Data. Next we explore examples of remotely sensed image data produced by measuring electromagnetic energy in the visible, near-infrared, and thermal infrared bands. Aerial photography is reconsidered as an analog to digital image data.

    Ans. - There are three broad categories of remote sensing platforms: ground based, airborne, and satellite.
