Photogrammetric Engineering & Remote Sensing

Photogrammetric Engineering & Remote Sensing is a field that uses photographs and satellite images to gather accurate geographic information about Earth's surface. Photogrammetry involves measuring distances and creating maps from photos taken from airplanes or drones. Remote sensing involves collecting data from sensors on satellites or aircraft to analyze land use, vegetation, water, and other features without direct contact. Together, these methods help in urban planning, environmental monitoring, and disaster management by providing detailed, precise spatial data, enabling informed decisions while minimizing the need for extensive ground surveys.
