How do they match: Remote Sensing Technicians

  • Light Detection and Ranging Technician

  • 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.
  • Collect verification data on the ground, using equipment such as global positioning receivers, digital cameras, or notebook computers.
  • Document methods used and write technical reports containing information collected.
  • Merge scanned images or build photo mosaics of large areas, using image processing software.
  • Provide remote sensing data for use in addressing environmental issues, such as surface water modeling or dust cloud detection.

  • Develop software or applications for scientific or technical use.
