Remote sensing is science, technology and any gathering information about an object or phenomenon without any physical or direct contact.

Special instruments are used in remote sensing which are acting a little similar to the common cameras but have more spectral sensitivity and ability. So they are fixed on airplanes and satellites to photograph and take digital information about phenomenon on the earth. Thus, the process of satellite and aerial remote sensing leads to product special computer images of the ground that can be analyzed and studied optically or by using a computer.
