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.

Character Positions

08 - Sensor type
For the recording mode of the remote-sensing device, specifically, whether the sensor is involved in the creation of the transmission it eventually measures.
a - Active
b - Passive
u - Unknown
z - Other
| - No attempt to code
09-10 - Data type
