| remote-sensing-technician | Occupational skill for the role 'remote sensing technician' (also: remote sensing technology scientist, remote sensing technology researcher, remote sensing technology studies research scientist, remote sensing technology scholar, remote sensing technology studies researcher, remote sensing technology analyst). Use when the user asks for typical remote sensing technician work such as: Participate in the planning or development of mapping projects.; Verify integrity and accuracy of data contained in remote sensing image analysis systems.; Prepare documentation or presentations, including charts, photos, or graphs. |
Remote Sensing Technician
Remote sensing technicians collect airborne data. They utilise equipment aimed for the collection of data and determination of geographical points in order to help in a variety of operations such as land conservation, urban planning, and military operations.
Core workflow
- Participate in the planning or development of mapping projects.
- Verify integrity and accuracy of data contained in remote sensing image analysis systems.
- Prepare documentation or presentations, including charts, photos, or graphs.
- Merge scanned images or build photo mosaics of large areas, using image processing software.
- Integrate remotely sensed data with other geospatial data.
- Consult with remote sensing scientists, surveyors, cartographers, or engineers to determine project needs.
- Adjust remotely sensed images for optimum presentation by using software to select image displays, define image set categories, or choose processing routines.
- Manipulate raw data to enhance interpretation, either on the ground or during remote sensing flights.
