Satellite imagery refers to the images of Earth or other celestial bodies captured by satellites equipped with sensors or cameras. These images are used for various applications including environmental monitoring, urban planning, agriculture, disaster management, and military reconnaissance. The imagery can be captured in different wavelengths of light, allowing for analysis beyond what is visible to the human eye. Satellite imagery enables the observation of large areas over time, providing valuable data for assessing changes in land use, vegetation cover, and natural disasters. The resolution of satellite images can vary, influencing the level of detail and accuracy that can be achieved in various applications.

Satellite Imagery: Principles, Applications, and Future Trends

Definition and Basic Principles Satellite imagery refers to images of Earth (or other planets) collected by orbiting satellites. These images are a form of remote sensing, meaning the data are acquired from a distance without direct contact. Satellites carry sensors that detect electromagnetic radiation reflected or emitted from the Earth’s surface. Most imaging satellites use passive sensors that rely…
