Teledetekcja

Teledetekcja, also known as remote sensing, is the science of obtaining information about objects or areas from a distance, typically from aircraft or satellites. This is achieved by using sensors that detect and record reflected or emitted energy from the target. The energy detected can be in various parts of the electromagnetic spectrum, including visible light, infrared, and microwave radiation.

The applications of teledetekcja are vast and span numerous fields. In environmental monitoring, it is used to track deforestation, monitor crop health, assess water quality, and study climate change. In geology and resource exploration, teledetekcja aids in identifying mineral deposits and mapping geological structures. Urban planning benefits from it for land use analysis and infrastructure development. Furthermore, it plays a crucial role in disaster management, allowing for rapid assessment of damage from floods, fires, and earthquakes. Navigation and military reconnaissance also rely heavily on teledetekcja technologies. The data collected is often processed and analyzed using specialized software to extract meaningful information, which can then be visualized in the form of maps or imagery.
