Remote Sensing: Imaging Techniques

This lecture covers the principles of heliosynchronous and geostationary orbits, the interactions of electromagnetic waves with the Earth's surface and atmosphere, and platforms for environmental remote sensing. It also delves into passive remote sensing, focusing on photographic and digital imaging, radiometry, and the characteristics of films. The instructor explains the formation of images, spectral sensitivity, and color reproduction in photography. Additionally, the lecture explores digital sensors, data formats, compression techniques, and examples of satellite imagery. The session concludes with discussions on resolution, geometric effects, stereoscopy, and photogrammetry applications.
