Aerial remote sensing is the process of recording information, such as photographs and images, from sensors on aircraft. ... Availability of aerial remote sensing imagery varies for the type of data required. Aerial photography is readily available for many areas of study in most parts of the world, although in some instances it must be declassified for non-military use by the government of the country involved in the study. Radar imagery is also frequently classified. 2, record 2, English, - airborne%20remote%20sensing%20imagery

De nos jours, la télédétection est souvent utilisée pour cartographier les ressources naturelles. Les photographies aériennes et les images numériques acquises à partir de plates-formes aéroportées, spatioportées et navales sont utilisées pour la production de cartes topographiques des régions terrestres et océaniques, et de cartes de ressources naturelles telles que la végétation, la géologie, les sols et les activités anthropiques. Les images de télédétection servent également à produire des cartes détaillées de zones urbaines, d'établissements industriels, de sites d'exploitation et autres activités anthropiques dans le paysage. 8, record 2, French, - images%20de%20t%C3%A9l%C3%A9d%C3%A9tection%20a%C3%A9rienne

The initiation of the EARSEC programme saw the development of sophisticated airborne SAR and electro-optical sensors, requiring equally sophisticated software to provide end-users with reliable products. The SAR processors were seen as an opportunity to develop software that could easily be used by regular, non-specialist users, whilst retaining great flexibility to allow detailed tuning and configuration by more scientifically expert investigators. This dual role has been adopted throughout the EARSEC processing environment allowing a wide user base to be satisfied. 3, record 5, English, - European%20Airborne%20Remote%20Sensing%20Capability
