DTS can provide staff with the technical skills to effectively integrate remotely sensed data into an organization. While remote sensing is a general term, the type of information that can be captured is quite varied. Before remotely collecting data through the use of remote sensors, users need to carefully determine how the data will be used. The end use of the data will have an impact on how the data is collected, when it is collected, and what type of sensor should be used. There are many sources of data existing today, with more becoming available, and understanding the characteristics of these different data sources is key in selecting the most appropriate type of data for a project. A few factors to consider:
- Spatial accuracy
- Spatial resolution
- Spectral resolution
- Collection timeframe
- Film vs. digital
- Aerial vs. satellite
Most of these factors will have an impact on the cost of collection, and cost of post processing and analysis. DTS can help make sense of these issues and provide support for organizations making decisions regarding data acquisition and analysis.
