Review RS and GIS Concepts

These are the advantages of Radar RS over Optical RS, except:

Radar RS uses the thermal infrared region of the EM spectrum

Real world can be abstracted into either vector and raster models

These are examples of GIS Applications

Light exists as a spectrum of different amounts of energy

These are regions of the EM spectrum wherein light can pass through our Earth's atmosphere

In GIS, it is not important for the data being used to have location context

The components of GIS include the following:

In Remote Sensing, you don't need to be in direct contact with the object when acquiring data/information:

Radar RS is generally not affected by clouds

What information are measured and stored in a SAR image?

These plots show the variation in the reflectance of an object with respect to wavelength
