Remote sensing is a set of recording, processing and interpreting data techniques, exploiting electromagnetic energy as an information carrier. Remote sensing uses images detected by planes, satellites and drones to characterize the Earth surface in all its interest parameters. The many remote sensing data applications are all fundamental for territory and environment analysis, monitoring and management.
Powered by satellite platforms, remote sensing achieved by satellite platforms represents an enormous low-cost data source, expanded by details and high temporal repetition.
