Applications of Microwaves in Remote Sensing

The electromagnetic spectrum extends from Hertz to terahertz. In this large range of EM spectrum there are window defining the smaller ranges and one of the important windows which covers frequency range from 3GHz to 30GHz is known as Microwaves. These Microwaves have various applications in communication Industrial, Medical and Remote Sensing. The Microwaves have unique Properties that include...

Polarimetric Interferometry – Remote Sensing Applications

This lecture is mainly based on the work of S.R. Cloude and presents examples for remote sensing applications Polarimetric SAR Interferometry (PolInSAR). PolInSAR has its origins in remote sensing and was first developed for applications in 1997 using SIRC L-Band data [1,2]. In its original form it involved generating phase differences between interferograms formed using different polarization ...

Remote sensing applications: An overview

Remote Sensing (RS) refers to the science of identification of earth surface features and estimation of their geo-biophysical properties using electromagnetic radiation as a medium of interaction. Spectral, spatial, temporal and polarization signatures are major characteristics of the sensor/target, which facilitate target discrimination. Earth surface data as seen by the sensors in different w...

Remote Sensing and Gis Applications in Agriculture

1. Introduction The number of satellite missions dedicated to remote sensing (or Earth Observation (EO)) has increased significantly over the past decade and will further increase over the coming decade and beyond. Data from these missions offer the potential for contributing to the security of human existence on Earth in different ways. Although there have been many demonstrations of the value...
