SENSORS & DETECTORS FEATURES
Earth Imaging Reveals the True State of Land, Sea, and Air Sep 23, 2020 — Stephen Hawking once said, “Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet.” This deep-seated urge to make sense of where we came from and to try to understand what makes the universe tick is a defining aspect of what makes us human. Another uniquely human quality is self-assessment: directing our view inward or, as a species, downward from above to gauge the impact we have on our surroundings. Observations from above can be carried out by unmanned aerial vehicles...
