Sever has stressed the enormous use of remote sensing in uncovering settlement patterns, population densities, societal structure, communication, and transportation.
At the same time, these measurements can be used for satellite data validation and to obtain reflection spectra of water bodies for remote sensing objectives.
Such systems are usually envisioned as a combination of either explosives, pre-targeted artillery shelling or smartguns with remote sensing equipment (sound, vibration, sight/thermal).
Remote sensing applications are similar to graphics software, but they enable generating geographic information from satellite and airborne sensor data.
