Possibilities of remote sensing usage for information collection on the broken lands
Modern methods of obtaining information on lands condition using space systems of earth remote sensing (ERS) are considered in the article. There are given characteristics of the operating satellite scanning systems, conditions of receiving and distribution of ERS data. Methods and software of the thematic decoding and interpretation of ERS multispectral information are considered on the example of monitoring tasks solution of erosion processes. The expediency of ERS data use for designing anti-erosion measures is shown.
