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]

Electromagnetic Spectrum

By
Electromagnetic Spectrum EMR is a form of energy exhibiting wave-like behaviour as it travels through space. EMR ranges from very high energy radiation such as gamma rays and X rays through ultraviolet light, visible light, infrared radiation and microwaves to radio waves.  The range of frequencies of EMR is known as the electromagnetic spectrum. The Sun produces a continuous spectrum of energy from gamma rays to radio waves that continually bathe the Earth in energy. The visible portion of the spectrum may be measured using wavelength (measured in mm or nm) or electron volts (eV) - All units are interchangeable. Classification of Electromagnetic Radiation Infrared radiation (750 nm - 1 mm) The infrared region can be divided into two categories based on their radiation properties - the reflected IR, and the emitted or thermal IR. The reflected IR covers wavelengths from approximately 0.7 micrometres to 3.0 micrometres. The thermal IR covers wavelengths from appro...

Basic of Remote Sensing

Contents What is Remote Sensing? Need for Remote Sensing? Who uses Remote Sensing and Why? Remote Sensing :  The art & science of  acquiring, processing, and interpreting information (images and related data) about the Earth’s surface without  actually being in physical contact between the object and sensor. This is done by sensing & recording reflected or emitted energy  and processing, analyzing and applying that information. The images and related data are obtained from ground-based, air-or space- borne instruments that record the interaction between matter (target) and  electromagnetic radiation. " remotely" means using instruments (sensors) carried by platforms . Need For Remote Sensing Systematic data collection; Global coverage; Repeatability; Inaccessible areas – sometimes the only solution; Multi-purpose information Who Uses Remote Sensing & Why The geographer who looks for changes in the E...
