resources for developmental planning activities in the
state using remote sensing techniques.
• To undertake short term and long term experimental and
operational remote sensing studies to identify, and
manage various natural resources.
• To interact with various user agencies for the formulation
and implementation of Remote Sensing Projects for
development planning.
• It generate state data which provide a great benefit to
other departments.
7. History of RS
• 1858 Balloonist G. Tournachon made photographs of
Paris from his balloon.
• Systematic aerial photography developed for military
purposes beginning in World War I and reaching a
climax during the Cold War .
• Artificial satellites in the latter half of the 20th
century.
8. Remote Sensing System
• The gathering of information from an object or
surface without direct contact.
10. Platforms of RS
Air Borne
• It involves the concept of “aerial
photography”.
• It is process of taking the photographs of the
ground from an elevated position.
• Earlier a camera of several pixels was mounted
on to the aircraft and pictures were triggered
remotely or automatically.
11. Platforms of RS
Space Borne:
• In space borne remote sensing, sensors are mounted
on-board a spacecraft (space shuttle or satellite)
orbiting the earth.
• Space borne remote sensing provides the
following advantages:
Large area coverage.
Frequent and repetitive coverage of an area of
interest.
12. Why We Use Satellite to Study Earth?
• Consistent.
• Routine data is available.
• Provide information in areas where there are no
ground base measurements.
• Satellite data are used for many applications,
including monitoring global weather, studying
climate change and observing the environment.
14. NRSC
• National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC), located
at Hyderabad is one of the centres of Indian Space Research
Organisation (ISRO), striving to realise the Indian Space
Vision, as a key player in Earth Observation Programme
and Disaster Management Support programme.
• NRSC is responsible for acquisition, processing, supply of
aerial and satellite remote sensing data and continuously
exploring the practical uses of remote sensing technology
for multilevel (global to local) applications.

17. GPS
• GPS, which stands for Global Positioning
System, is the only system today able to show
you your exact position on the Earth anytime,
in any weather, anywhere.
• It provides an accurate positioning for 24*7
anywhere in the world.
• No subscription fees or setup charges to use
GPS.
20. How GPS determines a Location
Things which need to be determined:
Current Locations of GPS Satellites
The Distance Between Receiver’s Position and the
GPS Satellites
21. Current Locations of GPS Satellites
• GPS satellites are orbiting the earth at an altitude of 11,000
miles.
• The orbits, and the locations of the satellites, are known in
advance.
• GPS receivers store this orbit information for all of the GPS
satellites in an ALMANAC(is a file which contains
positional information for all of the GPS satellites)
• All 24 satellites are divided into 6 parts.
• There are 4 satellites in each part.
• A definite orbit is defined for each part
22. Distance Between Receiver’s Position &
the GPS Satellites
• By measuring the amount of time taken by
radio signal (the GPS signal) to travel from the
satellite to the receiver.
• Radio waves travel at the speed of light.
• The distance from the satellite to the receiver
can be determined by the formula “distance =
speed x time”.
23.
24. GPS Error
• Different errors can cause a deviation of +/- 50 -100 meters
from the actual GPS receiver position which are
1) ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS
• Speed of GPS signal is affected by ionosphere &
troposphere.
• Which cause a deviation of 0 to 30 m. from the actual
position of receiver.
2) EPHEMERIS ERRORS
• The predicted changes in the orbit of a satellite.
• Which cause a deviation of 0 to 5 m. from the actual position
of receiver
25. GPS Error
3) CLOCK DRIFT
• Due to different code generations in satellite and receiver
simultaneously.
• Which cause a deviation of 0 to 1.5 m. from the actual position
of receiver
4) MULTIPATH
• Bouncing of GPS signal due to a reflecting surface before reaching
to receiver antenna.
• Which cause a deviation of 0 to
1 m. from the actual position of
receiver
26. Applications of GPS
1)MILITARY
• Navigation
• Target tracking
• Search and Rescue
2) CIVILIAN Purposes
• GPS for surveying
• Mapping
• Finding lost vehicles
28. GIS
GIS is a computer system capable of
assembling, storing, manipulating, and
displaying geographically referenced
information, i.e. data identified according to
their locations.
29. Components
• Hardware
– Computer System, Scanner, Printer, Plotter, Flat Board
• Software
– GIS software in use are MapInfo, ARC/Info,
AutoCAD Map, etc. The software available can be
said to be application specific.

• No direct measurement-radiance(light)
measurement must be converted to
geophysical parameters, such as temperature or
pollutant concentration.
44. •A case study on Sirohi district including all its 5
tehsils was carried.
•Under this study of data and extracting out meaning
full information was major task.
•Different data maps and Topo Sheets were taken
into consideration for study.
