Abstract
This paper defines the purpose and describes the physical background and basic features of remote sensing techniques. It covers the applicable spectral bands of the optical and microwave regions and the basic measurement concepts, which rely on the scattering and/or self-radiating processes of electromagnetic waves and, more generally, on some interaction of electromagnetic energy with matter.
