Definition

Remote sensing is an academic field and methodological approach focused on acquiring information about objects, areas, or phenomena on Earth's surface and atmosphere through the analysis of data obtained by devices without direct physical contact, primarily by measuring electromagnetic radiation. This non-intrusive method provides critical data for geospatial analysis, environmental monitoring, and understanding complex Earth systems across numerous scientific disciplines.
