The utilization of remote sensing technology

Remote Sensing was introduced at the vocational school of Geomatics Engineering in 2013. Remote sensing is the science and technology relating to search information about an object without direct contact with the object. The purpose of this paper is to review research related to remote sensing in the last 5 years. Search results show that the scope of remote sensing topics includes (1) Environmental monitoring such as mapping mangrove forest carbon stocks, detection and monitoring of vegetation affected by oil spills (2) Interpreting land cover and change for paddy modeling, road detection and settlement quality (3) Mitigation and monitoring of natural disasters; Forest fire, Mapping flood areas and affected flooding (4) Identification of natural resources; copper mining, mapping ground water prospective (5) Plant identification; determination of species, identification of agricultural crops, etc. The images used are Landsat imagery, AQUA / TERRA, and others. The obstacle in this research is the storage of data that has a large volume. By reviewing the aspects studied there is a cheaper and more efficient way to improve the quality of objects. The conclusion from the search results is this review will be able to enrich the treasures of knowledge in remote sensing technology learning in Geomatics Engineering, especially with related to enrich learning content.
