Application of GIS, Remote sensing in Geography

Abstract

This paper starts with a brief historic overview of remote sensing and Remote sensed imagery is integrated within a GIS. Geographic information system (GIS) is a computer-based tool for mapping and analyzing feature events on earth. GIS technology integrates common database operations, such as query and statistical analysis, with maps. GIS manages location-based information and provides tools for display and analysis of various statistics, including population characteristics, economic development opportunities, and vegetation types then explains the various stages in mapping land-use and cover. Agriculture and, soils mapping The basic principles of remotely sensed data collection mechanism is discussed in this paper.
