Internship Report from the year 2011 in the subject Engineering - General, Basics, printed single-sided, grade: -, Bangladesh Space Research and Remote Sensing Organization, language: English, abstract: Remote sensing is the acquisition of information about an object or phenomenon, without making physical contact with the object. It primarily concerned with deriving information about the earth s surface using an elevated platform. History of RS is not so old. It started from manual aerial photo capturing and interpretation and now running with modern satellite image capturing. A Remote sensing system comprises all the available components (both hard and soft wares), the online server, their interactions and interrelations in doing a particular job like image processing from satellite data. RSS comprises Platforms, Sensor, Computer system, Server, Institutional setups, Energy source and finally Image interpretation. Energy interactions with the atmosphere dictate the spectral regions through which only we can do the remote sensing which are known as spectral windows. The total incident energy will interact with earth s surface materials in three ways. These are: Absorption, Transmission, and Reflection. Radiometric and Geometric characteristics of remotely sensed images comprise Radiant energy, flux, intensity, Irradiance, emittance, Radiance, Radiometric resolution, Film exposure of sensor, Instantaneous Field Of View and Extraneous Geometric effect. Locations and other characteristics of natural features and human activities on, above and beneath the earth s surface are recorded as information for RS. The raster (or grid-cell) data model has developed from aerial and satellite-imaging technology, which represents geographical objects as grid-cell structures known as pixels. The location of geographic objects or conditions is defined by the row and column position of the cells they occupy. Information available on remotely sensed images may have three modes or dimensions, i.e. spatial, temporal, or thematic. After image capturing and storing, images are manipulated and interpreted. The process of image processing are consists of Georeferencing, Classification and analysis. A remotely sensed data comprises following spectral characteristics like Bandwidth, Band placement, Number of bands etc.
