Remote Sensing is defined as the science and technology
by which the characteristics of objects of interest can be identified,
measured or analyzed the characteristics without direct contact.

Remote Sensing may be taken to mean the observation of,
or gathering information about, a target by a device separated from it by
some distance.

Remote sensing is the measurement and analysis of
electromagnetic radiation reflected from, transmitted through, or absorbed
and scattered by the atmosphere, the hydrosphere and by material at or near
the land surface, for the purpose of understanding and managing the Earth's
resources and environment.

Remote Sensing: the science and art of obtaining useful
information about an object, area or phenomenon through the analysis of data
acquired by a device that is not in contact with the object, area, or
phenomenon under investigation.

Remote sensing may be broadly defined as the collection
of information about an object without being in physical contact with the
object. Aircraft and satellites are the common platforms from which remote
sensing observations are made. The term remote sensing is restricted to
methods that employ electromagnetic energy as the means of detecting and
measuring target characteristics.
