'''Remote sensing''' is the acquisition of [[information]] about an [[physical object|object]] or [[phenomenon]] without making physical contact with the object, in contrast to [[in situ]] or on-site [[observation]]. The term is applied especially to acquiring information about [[Earth]] and other [[planet]]s. Remote sensing is used in numerous fields, including [[geophysics]], [[geography]], land [[surveying]] and most [[Earth science]] disciplines (e.g. [[exploration geophysics]], [[hydrology]], [[ecology]], [[meteorology]], [[oceanography]], [[glaciology]], [[geology]]);. itIt also has military, intelligence, commercial, economic, planning, and humanitarian applications, among others.
 
In current usage, the term ''remote sensing'' generally refers to the use of [[satellite]]- or aircraft-based [[sensor]] technologies to detect and classify objects on Earth. It includes the surface and the [[atmosphere]] and [[oceans]], based on [[wave propagation|propagated signals]] (e.g. [[electromagnetic radiation]]). It may be split into "active" remote sensing (when a signal is emitted by a satellite or aircraft to the object and its reflection is detected by the sensor) and "passive" remote sensing (when the reflection of sunlight is detected by the sensor).<ref>{{cite book |last=Schowengerdt|first=Robert A. |title=Remote sensing: models and methods for image processing |publisher=[[Academic Press]] |edition=3rd |date=2007 |isbn=978-0-12-369407-2 |page=2 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=KQXNaDH0X-IC&pg=PA2 |access-date=15 November 2015 |archive-date=1 May 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160501133641/https://books.google.com/books?id=KQXNaDH0X-IC&pg=PA2 |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last=Schott|first=John Robert |title=Remote sensing: the image chain approach |publisher=[[Oxford University Press]] |edition=2nd |date=2007 |isbn=978-0-19-517817-3 |page=1 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=uoXvgwOzAkQC&pg=PT20 |access-date=15 November 2015 |archive-date=24 April 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160424152943/https://books.google.com/books?id=uoXvgwOzAkQC&pg=PT20 |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal

Remote sensing makes it possible to collect data of dangerous or inaccessible areas. Remote sensing applications include monitoring [[deforestation]] in areas such as the [[Amazon Basin]], [[glacier|glacial]] features in Arctic and Antarctic regions, and [[depth sounding]] of coastal and ocean depths. Military collection during the [[Cold War]] made use of stand-off collection of data about dangerous border areas. Remote sensing also replaces costly and slow data collection on the ground, ensuring in the process that areas or objects are not disturbed.
 
Orbital platforms collect and transmit data from different parts of the [[electromagnetic spectrum]], which in conjunction with larger scale aerial or ground-based sensing and analysis, provides researchers with enough information to monitor trends such as [[El Niño]] and other natural long and short term phenomena. Other uses include different areas of the [[earth science]]s such as [[natural resource management]], agricultural fields such as land usage and conservation,<ref>{{cite web|title=Saving the monkeys|url=https://spie.org/membership/spie-professional-magazine/journal-of-applied-remote-sensing-saving-monkey-habitat|publisher=SPIE Professional|access-date=1 January 2016|archive-date=4 February 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160204011902/https://spie.org/membership/spie-professional-magazine/journal-of-applied-remote-sensing-saving-monkey-habitat|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal|author=Howard, A.|display-authors=etal|title=Remote sensing and habitat mapping for bearded capuchin monkeys (Sapajus libidinosus): landscapes for the use of stone tools|journal=Journal of Applied Remote Sensing|date=19 August 2015|volume=9|issue=1|pages=096020|doi=10.1117/1.JRS.9.096020|s2cid=120031016}}</ref> [[greenhouse gas monitoring]],<ref name=":2">{{Cite journal|last1=Innocenti|first1=Fabrizio|last2=Robinson|first2=Rod|last3=Gardiner|first3=Tom|last4=Finlayson|first4=Andrew|last5=Connor|first5=Andy|date=2017|title=Differential Absorption Lidar (DIAL) Measurements of Landfill Methane Emissions|journal=Remote Sensing|language=en|volume=9|issue=9|pages=953|doi=10.3390/rs9090953|bibcode=2017RemS....9..953.953I |doi-access=free}}</ref> oil spill detection and monitoring,<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=C.

* Laser and [[radar altimeter|radar]] [[altimeter]]s on satellites have provided a wide range of data. By measuring the bulges of water caused by gravity, they map features on the seafloor to a resolution of a mile or so. By measuring the height and wavelength of ocean waves, the altimeters measure wind speeds and direction, and surface ocean currents and directions.
* Ultrasound (acoustic) and radar tide gauges measure sea level, tides and wave direction in coastal and offshore tide gauges.
* [[Light detection and ranging]] (LIDAR) is wellused known in examples offor weapon ranging, laser illuminated homing of projectiles., LIDAR is usedand to detect and measure the concentration of various chemicals in the atmosphere, while airborne LIDAR can be used to measure the heights of objects and features on the ground more accurately than with radar technology.

* [[Radiometer]]s and [[photometer]]s are the most common instrument in use, collecting reflected and emitted radiation in a wide range of frequencies. The most common are visible and infrared sensors, followed by microwave, gamma-ray, and rarely, ultraviolet. They may also be used to detect the [[emission spectra]] of various chemicals, providing data on chemical concentrations in the atmosphere.

[[Satellite imagery|Satellite images]] provide very useful information to produce statistics on topics closely related to the territory, such as agriculture, forestry or land cover in general. The first large project to apply Landsata 1 images for statistics was LACIE (Large Area Crop Inventory Experiment), run by NASA, [[National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration|NOAA]] and the [[United States Department of Agriculture|USDA]] in 1974–77.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Houston |first=A.H. |title=Use of satellite data in agricultural surveys |journal=Communications in Statistics.

[[Ground truth]] or reference data to train and validate image classification require a field survey if we are targetting [[Annual plant|annual crops]] or individual forest species, but may be substituted by [[Aerial photographic and satellite image interpretation|photointerpretation]] if we look at wider classes that can be reliably identified on [[Aerial photography|aerial photos]] or satellite images. It is relevant to highlight that probabilistic sampling is not critical for the selection of training pixels for image classification, but it is necessary for accuracy assessment of the classified images and area estimation.<ref>{{Cite book |last2=Green | first2=Kass | last1=Congalton |first1=Russell G. |url=https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/mono/10.1201/9780429052729/assessing-accuracy-remotely-sensed-data-russell-congalton-kass-green |title=Assessing the Accuracy of Remotely Sensed Data: Principles and Practices, Third Edition |date=2019-01-25 |publisher=CRC Press |isbn=978-0-429-05272-9 |edition=3 |location=Boca Raton |doi=10.1201/9780429052729}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal |last=Stehman |first=S. |date=2013 |title=Estimating Area from an Accuracy Assessment Error Matrix |journal=Remote Sensing of Environment |volume=132 |issue=132 |pages=202–211|doi=10.1016/j.rse.2013.01.016 |bibcode=2013RSEnv.132..202S }}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal |last=Stehman |first=S. |date=2019 |title=Key issues in rigorous accuracy assessment of land cover products |journal=Remote Sensing of Environment |volume=231 |issue=231|doi=10.1016/j.rse.2019.05.018 |bibcode=2019RSEnv.23111199S }}</ref> Additional care is recommended to ensure that training and validation datasets are not spatially correlated.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Zhen |first=Z |date=2013 |title=Impact of training and validation sample selection on classification accuracy and accuracy assessment when using reference polygons in object-based classification |journal=International Journal of Remote Sensing |volume=34 |issue=19 |pages=6914–6930|doi=10.1080/01431161.2013.810822 |bibcode=2013IJRS...34.6914Z }}</ref>
 
We suppose now that we have classified images or a [[Land cover maps|land cover map]] produced by visual photo-interpretation, with a legend of mapped classes that suits our purpose, taking again the example of wheat. The straightforward approach is counting the number of pixels classified as wheat and multiplying by the area of each pixel. Many authors have noticed that [[estimator]] is that it is generally [[Bias of an estimator|biased]] because [[Type I and type II errors|commission and omission errors]] in a [[confusion matrix]] do not compensate each other <ref>{{Cite journal |last=Czaplewski |first=R.L. |title=Misclassification bias in areal estimates |journal=Photogrammetric Engineering and Remote Sensing |issue=39 |pages=189–192}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal |last=Bauer |first=M.E. |date=1978 |title=Area estimation of crops by digital analysis of Landsat data |journal=Photogrammetric Engineering and Remote Sensing |issue=44 |pages=1033–1043}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal |last=Olofsson |first=P. |date=2014 |title=Good practices for estimating area and assessing accuracy of land change |journal=Remote Sensing of Environment |volume=148 |issue=148 |pages=42–57|doi=10.1016/j.rse.2014.02.015 |bibcode=2014RSEnv.148...42O |url=http://eprints.nottingham.ac.uk/44846/ }}</ref>
 
The main strength of classified satellite images or other indicators computed on satellite images is providing cheap information on the whole target area or most of it. This information usually has a good correlation with the target variable (ground truth) that is usually expensive to observe in an unbiased and accurate way. Therefore it can be observed on a [[Sampling (statistics)|probabilistic sample]] selected on an [[area sampling frame]]. Traditional [[survey methodology]] provides different methods to combine accurate information on a sample with less accurate, but exhaustive, data for a covariable or [[Proxy (statistics)|proxy]] that is cheaper to collect. For agricultural statistics, field surveys are usually required, while photo-interpretation may better for land cover classes that can be reliably identified on aerial photographs or high resolution satellite images. Additional uncertainty can appear because of imperfect reference data (ground truth or similar).<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Mcroberts |first=R |date=2018 |title=The effects of imperfect reference data on remote sensing-assisted estimators of land cover class proportions |journal=ISPRS Journal of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing |volume=142 |issue=142 |pages=292–300|doi=10.1016/j.isprsjprs.2018.06.002 |bibcode=2018JPRS..142..292M |doi-access=free }}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal |last=Foody |first=G.M. |date=2010 |title=Assessing the accuracy of land cover change with imperfect ground reference data |journal=Remote Sensing of Environment |volume=114 |issue=10 |pages=2271–2285|doi=10.1016/j.rse.2010.05.003 |bibcode=2010RSEnv.114.2271F |url=http://eprints.nottingham.ac.uk/2274/ }}</ref>

The use of the term "remote sensing" began in the early 1960s when [[Evelyn Pruitt]] realized that advances in science meant that aerial photography was no longer an adequate term to describe the data streams being generated by new technologies.<ref>{{Cite book |last1=Campbell |first1=James B. |url= |title=Introduction to Remote Sensing |last2=Wynne |first2=Randolph H. |date=2011-06-21 |publisher=The Guilford Press |isbn=978-1-60918-176-5 |edition=5th |location=New York London |language=English}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last=Ryerson |first=Robert A. |url=http://archive.org/details/whywheremattersu0000ryer |title=Why 'where' matters : understanding and profiting from GPS, GIS, and remote sensing : practical advice for individuals, communities, companies and countries |date=2010 |publisher=Manotick, ON : Kim Geomatics Corp. |others=Internet Archive |isbn=978-0-9866376-0-5}}</ref> With assistance from her fellow staff member at the Office of Naval Research, Walter Bailey, she coined the term "remote sensing".<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Fussell |first1=Jay |last2=Rundquist |first2=Donald |last3=Harrington |first3=John A. |date=September 1986 |title=On defining remote sensing |url=https://www.asprs.org/wp-content/uploads/pers/1986journal/sep/1986_sep_1507-1511.pdf |journal=Photogrammetric Engineering and Remote Sensing |volume=52 |issue=9 |pages=1507–1511 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211004200606/https://www.asprs.org/wp-content/uploads/pers/1986journal/sep/1986_sep_1507-1511.pdf |archive-date=October 4, 2021}}</ref><ref name="ELP">{{Cite journal |last=Pruitt |first=Evelyn L. |date=1979 |title=The Office of Naval Research and Geography |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/2569553 |journal=Annals of the Association of American Geographers |volume=69 |issue=1 |pages=103–108 |doi=10.1111/j.1467-8306.1979.tb01235.x |jstor=2569553 |issn=0004-5608}}</ref> Several research groups in [[Silicon Valley]] including [[NASA Ames Research Center]], [[GTE]], and [[ESL Inc.]] developed [[Fourier transform]] techniques leading to the first notable enhancement of imagery data.
