How do they match: Remote Sensing Technicians

  • Document Image Technician
  • Remote Sensing Technologist

  • Apply remote sensing technologies to assist scientists in areas such as natural resources, urban planning, or homeland security. May prepare flight plans or sensor configurations for flight trips.

  • Adjust remotely sensed images for optimum presentation by using software to select image displays, define image set categories, or choose processing routines.
  • Collect geospatial data, using technologies such as aerial photography, light and radio wave detection systems, digital satellites, or thermal energy systems.
  • Develop specialized computer software routines to customize and integrate image analysis.
  • Evaluate remote sensing project requirements to determine the types of equipment or computer software necessary to meet project requirements, such as specific image types or output resolutions.
  • Merge scanned images or build photo mosaics of large areas, using image processing software.
  • Verify integrity and accuracy of data contained in remote sensing image analysis systems.

  • Create images or other visual displays.
