In general terms, remote sensing refers to the activities of recording or closely observing and registering or sensing objects or natural events at remote or distant places. Remote sensing can be termed as the science that deals with the derivation of specific information about an object by using sensors without physically contacting the object in observation. Hence we can say that remote sensing differs from in situ sensing of objects without physically touching the objects of measurement. Remote sensing becomes very important branch of GIS services.
