Remote sensing (RS) is the science of collecting and analysing data about the Earth using reflected or emitted energy, including light, heat, and radar.It enables the observation and measurement of landscapes, environments, and objects without physical contact.
As a surveying and data collection technique, remote sensing encompasses data captured from a wide range of platforms and sensors. These include earth‑orbiting satellites, UAVs, LiDAR, SAR, aircraft and aerial photography, airborne video, handheld and field‑based instruments, as well as technologies such as spectroradiometers, ground‑penetrating radar, sonar, medical imaging (e.g. X‑ray and MRI), and even direct human observation.
SPAN applies remote sensing techniques to support research across disciplines, using industry‑standard tools including ESRI software, Agisoft Metashape, and R/RStudio.
