Abstract

This chapter discusses the role of remote sensing (RS) in observing and monitoring our planet, with a specific focus on satellite RS and RS through the use of networked sensors (fixed or mobile). Some history of the development of these systems over the years is first presented. Next, several applications are analyzed, and the advantages and disadvantages of processing of data collected from satellite platforms or sensor networks are highlighted. A combination of heterogeneous data from different sources is also discussed. Finally, present and future trends, employing algorithms of artificial intelligence (AI) and in particular of machine learning (ML) in RS data processing, are discussed.
