Explanation : Infrared imaging is used extensively for military and civilian purposes. Military applications include target acquisition, surveillance, night vision, homing and tracking. Non-military uses include thermal efficiency analysis, environmental monitoring, sensing, short-ranged wireless communication, spectro-scopy, and weather forecasting. There are two main types of remote sensing: passive remote sensing and active remote sensing. Reflected sunlight is the most common source of radiation measured by passive sensors. Examples of passive remote sensors include film photography, infrared, charge-coupled devices, and radiometers.
