Remote sensing is the science and art of obtaining 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.

Conclusions A picture is worth a thousand words, because pictures concisely convey information about positions, size, and interrelationships between objects. The basic advantages of images over the ground observation are i) Improved vantage point, ii) Capability to stop action, iii) Permanent recording, iv) Broadened spectral sensitivity, v) Increased spatial resolution and geometric fidelity, vi) providing data for inaccessible regions etc. Remote sensing will continue to play an increasingly broad and important role in natural resources management. The technical capabilities of sensors, space platforms, data communication systems, GPSs, digital image processing systems, and GISs are improving on almost a daily basis. At the same time, we are witnessing an evolution of various remote sensing procedures from being purely research activities to being commercially available services. Most importantly, we are becoming increasingly aware of how interrelated and fragile the elements of our global resource base really are and of the role remote sensing can play in inventorying, monitoring, and managing earth resources and in modeling and helping us understand the global ecosystem.
