Welcome to my new blog.

To begin with, I would highlight the objective of the blog briefly.

When I first ventured into the field of Remote Sensing and GIS, it was a period when the subject was treated as a tool or device for solving geospatial problems. Even then it had the clout of an academic discipline, which was overlooked by a lot of mainstream academicians. Even now I find it amusing when this rich multi-disciplinary subject is referred to as a mere tool. Nevertheless, I will make a sincere attempt to take the discipline to as many enthusiasts and practitioners of Remote Sensing and GIS as possible in a simple manner. The entire purpose of this blog will be to provide - 
  • Document-based tutorials;
  • Powerpoint presentations;
  • Project development techniques;
  • Dissertation guidelines;
  • Book reviews;
  • Sample test questions;
  • Practical training (through youtube videos*);
To conclude, I would give a brief introduction about me.
  • I am a Remote Sensing and GIS professional with 12 years of diversified experience in research and consultancy. I have technical expertise in Remote Sensing and GIS with specialized application in agriculture & soils. 
  •  Academically I have been awarded a Ph.D. from Jadavpur University, Kolkata; M.Tech in Remote Sensing and Geographical Information System (GIS) from Indian Institute of Remote Sensing, Dehradun; and an M.Sc. in Geography from Bangalore University, Karnataka.

* [I will be introducing videos at a later stage, especially on demand from the blog viewers. Please feel free to provide your feedbacks to aditi.iirs@gmail.com]

Remote Sensing Process A. Energy Source or Illumination – the first requirement is to have an energy source which illuminates or provides electromagnetic energy to the target of interest. B. Radiation and the Atmosphere – as the energy travels from its source to the target, it will come in contact with and interact with the atmosphere it passes through. This interaction may take place a second time as the energy travels from the target to the sensor. C. Interaction with the Target – once the energy makes its way to the target through the atmosphere, it interacts with the target depending on the properties of both the target and the radiation. D. Recording of Energy by the Sensor – after the energy has been scattered by, or emitted from the target, we require a sensor to collect and record the EMR. E. Transmission, Reception, Processing – the energy recorded by the sensor has to be transmitted, often in electronic form, to receiving and processing station where the data a...
