Abstract
In recent years, advances in remote sensing methodology have outstripped the useful application of the technology to man’s needs. This may he partly due to the heavy reliance of remote sensing applications on the relatively undeveloped methods of deductive reasoning rather than the customary inductive approach to problems.
