This book has been divided into six chapters, each providing a comprehensive overview of a different aspect of remote sensing. The first chapter, Introduction to Remote Sensing, provides an overview of the basics of remote sensing, including its definition, the history of satellite systems, the electromagnetic spectrum, and resolutions. The second chapter, Aerial Remote Sensing, discusses the elements, interpretation, types of photographs, and measurements associated with this technique. The third chapter, Satellite Remote Sensing, provides an in-depth analysis of this method, including its history, types, and applications. The fourth chapter, Global Positioning System, covers the GPS procedure, types, and developments related to this technology. The fifth chapter, Introduction to Geographic Information Systems, discusses the basics of GIS and its applications. The sixth chapter, Applications of Remote Sensing, Geographic Information Systems, and Global Positioning Systems, provides an overview of the various applications of these technologies. This book is useful for bachelors and postgraduate degree students in geography, as well as research scholars who wish to gain a deeper understanding of geospatial technologies.
