Abstract
SUMMARYDevelopments in remote sensing have for a long time been dominated by a military heritage (pattern recognition) and/or by an attitude of ‘high-tech’ wonderment on the part of the scientific community. Today, efforts are being concentrated on more sophisticated techniques of remote sensing and computerized data processing.While these technical advances are both desirous and fascinating, let us not forget that remote sensing as a perfected tool of observation, analysis, and classification is nothing unless the user has a firm knowledge of the phenomena under investigation and an unequivocably expressed problematic to resolve. The researcher needs to marry intuition, imagination, and memory with concise logic and rigorous method.Any further training or education in remote sensing must be inspired by a symbiosis of empirical and rational knowledge. Furthermore, it will increasingly necessitate the integration of data from several sources, presumably in a ‘user friendly’ environment. Such an environment...
