The Impact of Remote Sensing Technology on Earth Observation and Data Collection

Rishikesh Samanth introduces remote sensing, explaining its meaning and applications. He clarifies the terms 'remote' and 'sensing', emphasizing that remote sensing is not limited to satellite technology but includes medical imaging and x-rays. The precise definition involves acquiring information without physical contact. The term was coined by Evelyn Pruitt in the 1950s. The video concludes with a promise to explore the technology further in the next video.
