GNSS reflectometry is passive sensing that takes advantage of and relies on multiple active sources - with the satellites generating the navigation signals. For this, the GNSS receiver measures the signal delay from the satellite (the pseudorange measurement) and the rate of change of the range between satellite and observer (the Doppler ...
QuickBird was a high-resolution commercial Earth observation satellite, owned by DigitalGlobe, launched in 2001 and reentered after orbit decay in 2015. QuickBird used Ball Aerospace's Global Imaging System 2000 (BGIS 2000).
Deimos Imaging is a Spanish company which operates a complete Remote Sensing system. The system comprises the satellites Deimos-1 and Deimos-2, the ground stations at Boecillo near Valladolid and Puertollano near Ciudad Real, the reception hardware hosted at KSAT, Svalbard, and Inuvik and kiruna at SSC and an image processing laboratory with generation of agricultural and environment products ...
A number of bug fixes to ILWIS 3.7. 3.7.2 24 May 2011 A number of bug (from 3.7.1) fixes. 3.8 3.8 April 7, 2012 Massive rewrite of the whole visualization of maps. This rewrite expanded the tools for visual analysis substantially and improved the overall performance of the drawing process. 3.8.1 September 19, 2012 A number of bug fixes. 3.8.2
On 29 June 2009, the Global Digital Elevation Model (GDEM) was released to the public. [ 8 ] [ 9 ] A joint operation between NASA and Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI), the Global Digital Elevation Model is the most complete mapping of the earth ever made, covering 99% of its surface.

Aerial survey systems typically include the following components: Flight navigation software to guide the pilot in flying the desired survey pattern. GNSS, combining GPS and an inertial measurement unit (IMU) to provide accurate position and orientation data. Gyro-stabilized mounts to counteract the effects of aircraft roll, pitch, and yaw.
Remote sensing systems gather data via instruments typically carried on satellites in orbit around the Earth. The remote sensing scanner detects the energy that radiates from the object or area of interest. This energy is recorded as an analog electrical signal and converted into a digital value though an A-to-D conversion.
Quantitative remote sensing is a branch of remote sensing. The quantitative remote sensing system does not directly measure land surface parameters of interest. Instead, the signature remote sensors receive is electromagnetic radiation reflected, scattered, and emitted from both the surface and the atmosphere . [ 1 ]
