  2. 1. Introduction & Technology Involved 1.1 Introduction Remote sensing is a • cost effective tool for performing various research on local and regional scales. • not a new concept and has been used extensively in global research over the past several decades. • recent advances in remote sensing technologies, lower cost, and greater availability of remotely-sensed data has made it a much more attractive solution for local and regional governments, schools, and universities interested in performing researches that may have real impact on their communities.

  3. 1.1 What is Remote Sensing? Remote sensing can be defined as the study of something without making actual contact with the object of study. More precisely, it can be defined as: "The acquisition and measurement of data/information on some property(ies) of a phenomenon, object, or material by a recording device not in physical, intimate contact with the feature(s) under surveillance"

  4. Remote sensing deals with the detection and measurement of phenomena with devices sensitive to electromagnetic energy such asLight (cameras and scanners) Heat (thermal scanners) Radio Waves (radar) 1.2 Components of a Remote Sensing System

  5. 1.3 Special Characteristics of Remote Sensing • Synoptic (bird's eye) view coverage of large areas providing simultaneous different spatial information - suitable for integrated development planning and monitoring. • Repeatative aerial coverage facilitating monitoring of dynamic activities and phenomena. • Data are collected in digital form - facilitate processing by using computer (speed, consistency, data transfer). • Sensors can measure energy at wavelengths which are beyond the range of human vision (ultra-violet, infrared, microwave). • Global monitoring is possible from nearly any site on earth.

  10. 2. Operation & Applications In Malaysia 2.1 Malaysian Centre for Remote Sensing (MACRES) • established as an R&D centre in August 1988 and was fully operational in January 1990. Equipped with • computer system for satellite data image processing, geographic information system and global positioning system, • satellite ground receiving station for real time data acquisition, • microwave remote sensing laboratory (anechoic chamber, mobile scatterometer),  • remote sensing digital photographic laboratory, • remote sensing data archiving and retrieval centre, • National Disaster Data and Information (NADDI) System and • MACRES GIS Immersive Centre (MAGIC).

  11. MACRES Headquarters Located at No. 13, Jalan Tun Ismail, Kuala Lumpur officiated on 5 August 2005

  12. Temerloh Ground Receiving Station The establishment of MACRES Ground Receiving Station (MGRS) in Temerloh, Pahang was completed in March 2000 and located on a 100-acre sites.  The ground station enables satellite remote sensing data of the country to be acquired on real time basis.  This enhanced the national capability to acquire data required for socio-economic development and strategic planning of the nation. With its 2500 km radius footprint coverage, the facility is capable of receiving satellite data of Malaysia, ASEAN countries, southern part of China and eastern part of India.

  13. 2.2 Role and Functions Of MACRES Objective • To develop remote sensing and related technologies; and to operationalise their applications in user agencies for management of natural resources, environment and disasters, and strategic planning of the nation. MACRES functions are : • Principle research and development organisation in the areas of remote sensing and related technologies in the country. • Advisor to the government on matters pertaining to remote sensing and related technologies in Malaysia. • Focal point for implementing the National Remote Sensing Programme, by acting as the permanent secretariat to the National Remote Sensing Committee. • Coordinator for implementing remote sensing activities in the country
