Abstract
Remote sensing, in the simplest words, means obtaining information about an object without touching the object itself. It has two facets: the technology of acquiring data through a device which is located at a distance from the object, and analysis of the data for interpreting the physical attributes of the object, both these aspects being intimately linked with each other.
