What are the upcoming sectors for application of remote sensing data?
Hitherto, the information on natural resources and environment has been generated and optimal land use plan suggested at macro-level using currently available satellite data. The availability of improved spatial, spectral, radiometric and temporal resolution data in conjunction with GIS, GPS, photogrammetric and modelling tools, will ultimately enable generating micro-level (at scales of 1:8,000 or larger) information on natural resources, generation of 3-D perspective of the terrain for micro-level planning, integration of natural resources data with the communication systems for improved developmental activities, of remote sensing in the curriculum and providing required financial and logistic support to academic institutions to run such courses. infrastructure planning, making improved crop yield forecasts, studying bio-diversity, prediction of catastrophic events like flood, drought, cyclone etc., and modelling the food, fuelwood and firewood requirements, etc. which will provide t
