Remote sensing is the technology of detecting objects on the Earth or in the water. Remotely sensed data is often taken off of platforms such as airplanes, satellites, ships, or balloons. There are many different types and methods of remote sensing that are used today. This geospatial technology is helping us understand and visualize many different places on the Earth. Remotely sensed data is often times combined with other geospatial data to produce new and more informative information.
