What is Remote Sensing and GIS?

"Remote Sensing vs GIS" is something that everyone in the spatial science realm had pondered about at some point in their life. And it was nothing different for me when I started a couple of years back. Hence, as I am restarting this channel, I want to provide a brief introduction on what is remote sensing and GIS - and their major types, applications and a few key terms (such as active and passive remote sensing, shapefile, raster and vector data, ArcMap, GIS mapping, etc.). Even though there are a lot of similarities, they are both entirely different science streams (more like sister departments).

Understanding GIS and Remote Sensing will help you figure out the right technologies and approach you will have to adopt for solving your specific research questions - and, who knows, maybe even encourage you to consider any of these areas as a potential career path.

Hey! Geoscientist and UAS Pilot here. There's a lack of channels in the field of Remote Sensing / Drones / Geospatial+ and I follow your channel with pleasure :)

Hi all, please feel free to check out the *cc-option* (which is personally edited) and also use 1.25 x speed if you find the explanation a bit too slow (& 720p or 1080p resolution) :) Thanks for watching!

The best geomatics video I've ever met, thank you so much💯❤

[kangkanabora]

Thank you so much ❤ we need more videos like this

[supriyaagrahari]

Sir I m studying geology. Please make more video regarding GIS, remote sensing Thankyou .

[shubhamdandekar]

Awesome video. Really very Informative.

[ubadinmamadukife]

This video is quite direct and interesting Thanks

[truonggiangnguyen]

Great explanation. Can you suggest some books to study remote sensing please? Thanks in advance.

[erumharis]

Very informative video. Please keep uploading new content. I agree that there is a lack of channels in this interdisciplinary domain. Lastly, it would be helpful if video transcript could be provided.

i have been using windows laptops for my GIS and Remote sensing journey. I just have a genuine question, I plan to use mac, do you think the remote sensing will run well in mac environment? thanks

[lifeversechannel]

Hi sir can I give you coordinates to check underground?

thanks
