what is remote sensing
Remote sensing is the acquirement of information for an object without having physical contact with that, either through a satellite or using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) with appropriately adapted sensors. The science of remote sensing, taking advantage of the high technological advancement occurred on this field, either considering the sensors and the equipment or the evolution of methods and algorithms, can become an important tool towards the improvement of the competitiveness of the Greek agriculture, through the reduction of inputs (reduced but targeted applications for plant protection and fertilization), the improvement of the quality of agricultural products (avoiding residues of pesticides in food) and the protection of the environment.
