Remote Sensing techniques have been in use for several decades and the fields of study that use these techniques are ever expanding. Post world war-II, the focus of Remote Sensing shifted from military applications to uses such as natural resources exploration, natural hazard zonation, atmospheric studies, and emergency management systems.

Study of our environment requires a better understanding of land, water and air. This involves intensive usage of airborne and satellite based remotely sensed data. Remote Sensing techniques along with Geographical Information System (GIS) support make a powerful tool that is changing the way we investigate the world.
