Passive sensors pick up the electromagnetic radiation emitted by the earth’s surface using an external energy source. This chapter discusses the main characteristics of images from aerial or satellite passive remote sensing and explains the procedures to acquire satellite images frequently used in forestry applications, detailing their specifications and characteristics in order to understand the bases for their further interpretation and processing.
