The application of remote sensing data is prevalent in planning,
inventory, and emergency and warfare projects. With high-resolution
satellite imagery being available for the entire world at
a competitive price, many countries that have not yet been
mapped at a scale of 1:50,000 can create base maps efficiently
to expedite their development work. Remote sensing has revolutionized
the map-making process and its applications. Some of the main
applications of remote sensing data include:
