There's probably lots of these that could be used (probably as a source rather than external link). - Samsara (talk • contribs) 23:46, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I added a link to slashgeo.org. I don't consider this link spamming since it is an ad-free community-driven website specifically for remote sensing and geospatial technologies. If you disagree, simply email me to discuss the issue. Thanks. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lordsatri (talk • contribs) .

sir i am going to do ph.d programme in remote sensing and i have to sent paragragh comprising of 1500 words about this.so i need you to sent me117.199.140.255 (talk) 08:19, 29 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

civil war??

Section history: "The first tactical use was during the civil war". Wich civil war are you talking? American civil war? Paris civil war? The information is incomplete!! 161.116.143.174 (talk) 06:47, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thermal remote sensing?

LANDSAT-TM, ASTER, MODIS and more sensors have thermal sensors to termine the land surface temperature or sea surface temperature. Please mention this in the article. Bumbulski (talk) 23:10, 3 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Here a list for operational satellites with thermal sensors:

Geostationary satellites: Meteosat and GOES
Polar orbiting satellites:
- Medium resolution: NOAA AVHRR, Terra/Aster MODIS
- High resolution: LANDSAT TM5 & ETM+ and Terra ASTER —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bumbulski (talk • contribs) 17:39, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Article is too technical

I am not part of the in-crowd, and I am still confused. Is this article about geology? Just guessing here. Perhaps a higher-level overview in the beginning of the article would be helpful... Selerian (talk) 14:00, 22 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It is about remote sensing - there are a fairly wideranging spread of sciences which would use the data collected. It is not too technical although it is possible that the lead is not properly explanatory for your purposes. I will reread it and examine how it may be improved

"Examples of passive remote sensors include film photography, (?) infrared (?), charge-coupled devices, and radiometers" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.223.72.236 (talk) 15:25, 21 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

T & E

Regarding the several Special Interest Groups on the topic, e.g. EARSeL SIG Training and Education and the ongoing debate abput a sustainable integration of remote sensing data and methods, I added a chapter dealing with training and education. Any improvement suggestions? --Arienow (talk) 14:08, 20 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

External links modified

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Remote sensing. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

copyright violation?

Yes, the text is based on the doas_history.htm web page. I asked the original author if it is okay to use his text on wikipedia, and he agreed. Therefore, there is no copyright violation.--RolfSander (talk) 15:08, 30 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@RolfSander: Unfortunately we cannot accept text based on the authors allowing their contributions to be added to Wikipedia. See WP:COMPLIC, which says It's not enough to have a license that restricts use only to Wikipedia or prohibits commercial use; these are treated as if there was no license at all. You would have to convince the owner to release the content under a Wikipedia compatible license, which currently I do not see evidence of in the diff or this talk page. Kees08 (Talk) 04:05, 29 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I have deleted the text and revision history per our policies, but if you do get the website to contribute the text under a free license (see our copyright policies for different ways how, ping me if you need help) feel free to ping me and I can help add it back.

Remote sensing is the acquisition of information about an object or phenomenon without making physical contact with the object, in contrast to in situ or on-site observation. The term is applied especially to acquiring information about the Earth and other planets. Remote sensing is used in numerous fields, including geography, land surveying and most Earth science disciplines (for example, hydrology, ecology, meteorology, oceanography, glaciology, geology); it also has military, intelligence, commercial, economic, planning, and humanitarian applications, among others.

Additional citations needed for verification

I have added a verification tag to this page due to many uncited assertions. These are not necessarily factually incorrect, but do need a source in the literature backing them up. For many, two textbooks in the "Further reading" section by Jensen (listed below) are probably adequate. We don't want to lean too heavily on these books though, so other sources should be used when appropriate. If anyone else owns copies of these books, they include sources for many of the facts they use, which could be used as citations to improve this article. There should not be a section of text missing sources, like the "Data characteristics" section.
