Summary: "Remote sensing is the examination or the gathering of information about a place from a distance. Such examination can occur with devices (e.g. cameras) based on the ground, and/or sensors of cameras based on ships, aircraft, satellites, or other spacecraft. Today, the data obtained is usually stored and manipulated using computers. The most common software used in remote sensing is ERDAS imagine., ESRI, MapInfo, and ERMapper. Modern remote sensing began in 1858 when Gaspard-Felix Tournachon first took aerial photographs of Paris from a hot air balloon. Remote sensing continued to grow from there; one of the first planned uses of remote sensing occurred during the U.S. Civil War when messenger pigeons, kites, and unmanned balloons were flown over enemy territory with cameras attached to them. The first governmental-organized air photography missions were developed for military surveillance during World War I and II but reached a climax during the Cold War. Geologic faults, fault lines or simply faults are planer rock fractures which show evidence of relative movement. Large faults within the Earth's crust are the result of shear motion and active fault zones are the causal locations of most earthquakes. Earthquakes are caused by energy release during rapid slippage along faults. The largest examples are at tectonic plate boundaries but many faults occur far from active plate boundaries. Since faults do not usually consist of a single, clean fracture, the term fault zone is used when referring to the zone of complex deformation that is associated with the fault plate. The book also provides an Indian perspective on remote sensing technology and applications by bringing to the fore the way the Indian Remote Sensing (IRS) programme has developed the unique applications of the technology in India and abroad."--Back cover
