Abstract
Remote sensing, as a rapidly advancing technology for gathering environmental data using a wide range of satellite platforms, plays a major role in spatio-temporal earth surface monitoring. Throughout this chapter we introduce the basic remote sensing methods and explain their use in GRASS. The tools for image processing and remote sensing applications will be illustrated using a SPOT-1 HRV (Haute Resolution Visible) and PAN (Panchromatic) image data set as well as a LANDSAT-TM7 scene available as an extension for the Spearfish data set.
