f Evaluating remote sensor data for environmental applications - A systematic approach

Newly developed sensor packages in satellites and aircraft have greatly increased the type and diversity of remote sensor data sets available to address environmental problems. This wealth of information can leave the potential user with questions concerning the most efficient use of data, in terms of cost, technical quality (e.g. resolution and spectral band coverage) and suitability for specific applications. Amoco has taken the leed in applying this technology to environmental challenges facing the petroleum industry.
