There's probably lots of these that could be used (probably as a source rather than external link). - Samsara (talk • contribs) 23:46, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I added a link to slashgeo.org. I don't consider this link spamming since it is an ad-free community-driven website specifically for remote sensing and geospatial technologies. If you disagree, simply email me to discuss the issue. Thanks. —The preceding

LANDSAT-TM, ASTER, MODIS and more sensors have thermal sensors to termine the land surface temperature or sea surface temperature. Please mention this in the article. Bumbulski (talk) 23:10, 3 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Here a list for operational satellites with thermal sensors:

• Geostationary satellites:
  GOES
• Polar orbiting satellites:
  • Medium resolution: NOAA
    MODIS
  • High resolution:
    LANDSAT TM5 & ETM+ and Terra ASTER —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bumbulski (talk • contribs) 17:39, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply

Article is too technical

I am not part of the in-crowd, and I am still confused. Is this article about geology? Just guessing here. Perhaps a higher-level overview in the beginning of the article would be helpful... Selerian (talk) 14:00, 22 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It is about remote sensing - there are a fairly wideranging spread of sciences which would use the data collected. It is not too technical although it is possible that the lead is not properly explanatory for your purposes. I will reread it and examine how it may be improved

Regarding the several Special Interest Groups on the topic, e.g. EARSeL SIG Training and Education and the ongoing debate abput a sustainable integration of remote sensing data and methods, I added a chapter dealing with training and education. Any improvement suggestions? --Arienow (talk) 14:08, 20 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Remote sensing. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Remote sensing is the acquisition of information about an object or phenomenon without making physical contact with the object, in contrast to in situ or on-site observation. The term is applied especially to acquiring information about the Earth and other planets. Remote sensing is used in numerous fields, including geography, land surveying and most Earth science disciplines (for example, hydrology, ecology, meteorology, oceanography, glaciology, geology); it also has military, intelligence, commercial, economic, planning, and humanitarian applications, among others. 103.95.81.146 (talk) 06:02, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have added a verification tag to this page due to many uncited assertions. These are not necessarily factually incorrect, but do need a source in the literature backing them up. For many, two textbooks in the "Further reading" section by Jensen (listed below) are probably adequate. We don't want to lean too heavily on these books though, so other sources should be used when appropriate. If anyone else owns copies of these books, they include sources for many of the facts they use, which could be used as citations to improve this article. There should not be a section of text missing sources, like the "Data characteristics" section.
