007 - Remote-Sensing Image (R)
MARC 21 Bibliographic - Concise
2007
Item is a remote-sensing image which is defined as an image produced by a recording
device that is not in physical or intimate contact with the object under study. This may
be a map or other image that is obtained through various remote sensing devices such as
cameras, computers, lasers, radio frequency receivers, radar systems, sonar,
seismographs, gravimeters, magnetometers, and scintillation counters.
