Remote sensing uses a part or several parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. It records the electromagnetic energy reflected or emitted by the earth’s surface. The amount of radiation from an object (called radiance) is influenced by both the properties of the object and the radiation hitting the object (irradiance). Remote sensing techniques allow taking images of the earth surface in various wavelength region of the electromagnetic spectrum (EMS). One of the major characteristics of a remotely sensed image is the wavelength region it represents in the EMS. Some of the images represent reflected solar radiation in the visible and the near infrared regions of the electromagnetic spectrum, others are the measurements of the energy emitted by the earth surface itself i.e. in the thermal infrared wavelength region. The energy measured in the microwave region is the measure of relative return from the earth’s surface, where the energy is transmitted from the vehicle itself. This is known as active remote sensing, since the energy source is provided by the remote sensing platform. Whereas the systems where the remote sensing measurements depend upon the external energy source, such as sun are referred to as passive remote sensing systems. Detection and discrimination of objects or surface features means detecting and recording of radiant energy reflected or emitted by objects or surface material. Different objects return different amount of energy in different bands of the electromagnetic spectrum, incident upon it. This depends on the property of material (structural, chemical, and physical), surface roughness, angle of incidence, intensity, and wavelength of radiant energy. The Remote Sensing is basically a multi-disciplinary science which includes a combination of various disciplines such as optics, spectroscopy, photography, computer, electronics and telecommunication, satellite launching etc. All these technologies are integrated to act as one complete system in itself, known as Remote Sensing System. There are a number of stages in a Remote Sensing process, and each of them is important for successful operation. Stages in Remote Sensing Emission of electromagnetic radiation, or EMR (sun/self- emission) Transmission of energy from the source to the surface of the earth, as well as absorption and scattering Interaction of EMR with the earth’s surface: reflection and emission Transmission of energy from the surface to the remote sensor Sensor data output. The Urban Unit 5 Wheat Girdawari 2015: Using Remote Sensing Technology Remote Sensing Principles For Recognizing the Vegetation Vegetation behavior depends on the nature of the vegetation itself. Its interactions with solar radiation and other climate factors. The availability of chemical nutrients and water within the host medium (usually soil, or water in marine environments). Absorption centered at about 0.65 µm (visible red) by chlorophyll pigment in green-leaf chloroplasts. To a similar extent in the blue, removes these colours from white light, leaving the predominant but diminished reflectance for visible wavelengths concentrated in the green. Thus, most vegetation has a green-leafy colour. A strong reflectance between 0.7 and 1.0 µm (near IR) in the spongy mesophyll cells located in the interior or back of a leaf. These properties of vegetation account for their tonal signatures on multispectral images. Darker tones in the blue and, especially red, bands, somewhat lighter in the green band, and notably light in the near-IR bands. Light reflects mainly at cell wall/air space interfaces, much of which emerges as strong reflection rays. The intensity of this reflectance is commonly greater (higher percentage) than from most inorganic materials, so vegetation appears bright in the near-IR. Identifying vegetation in remote-sensing images depends on several plant characteristics e.g., in general, deciduous leaves tend to be more reflective than evergreen needles (coniferous). Thus, in infrared colour composites, the red colours associated with those bands in the 0.7 - 1.1 µm interval are normally richer in hue and brighter from tree leaves than from pine needles. These spectral variations facilitate fairly precise detection, identification and monitoring of vegetation on land surfaces. Thus, we can continually assess changes in forests, grasslands and range, shrub lands, crops and orchards, and marine plankton, often at quantitative levels.

Image Classification The classification process is to categorize all pixels in a digital image into one of several land cover classes, or"themes". This categorized data may then be used to produce thematic maps of the land cover present in an image. With Supervised Classification/Spectral Based Classification, we identify examples of the information classes (i.e., land cover type) of interest in the image. These are called "training sites". The image processing software system is then used to develop a statistical characterization of the reflectance for each information class. This stage is often called "signature analysis" and may involve developing a characterization as simple as the mean or the rage of reflectance on each bands, or as complex as detailed analyses of the mean, variances and covariance over all bands. Once a statistical characterization has been achieved for each information class, the image
