Remote sensing is the technique of recording and examining the earth and ground resources without establishing a physical connection with them. In other words, remote sensing; is a branch of science that aims to take images of the earth without physical contact via aircraft and satellites and to obtain information from these images.

Remote Sensing Industry Overview
With remote sensing technologies, fast, reliable and low-cost projects with high added value can be developed in the production and management of spatial information. Although studies on geographic information systems in the public and private sectors in our country are at a very advanced level, activities related to remote sensing are at the stage of maturation in recent years, especially with the widespread use of free satellite images, images provided by UAV and drone technologies, and images taken from our national satellites.
Our institutions need the processing and evaluation of remote sensing data in order to carry out their activities more effectively. Many technologies have emerged that facilitate the automatic or semi-automatic determination of information using satellite data.
As in the world, large projects are carried out on a national scale in these areas in our country, and value-added outputs are produced. Remote sensing technologies are used in agriculture, forestry, environment, water management, defense, intelligence, mining, disaster management, management of underground and surface resources, urban planning and many space-based engineering and research projects.
Many public institutions and private sectors have made investments in this field and large projects have been initiated due to the time saving, cost, labor, accurate data generation and economic efficiency brought by the remote sensing technologies in the projects to be carried out in these areas in our country.
Usage Areas of Remote Sensing
Studies on the processing techniques of satellite, drone, UAV images, object recognition and detection, high performance in classification algorithms, deep learning, machine learning, which are important for defense and civilian uses, are increasing day by day. With the developing technology, remote sensing technologies for defensive object recognition and target detection, monitoring of agricultural areas, determination of forest diversity, determination of land cover and use, environment, mining, hydrology, ecology, meteorology, oceanography, geology, city planning, creating urban atlases Its use in subjects such as disaster management, natural resources management is increasing day by day.
The wide coverage area of satellites provides a great advantage in data analysis on a global scale.
