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...
