## *5.2.2 Concept generation*

1.Ground Based

The detection system is carried by the ground-based platform, which functions on the earth's surface in order to produce clear detected data. Handheld cameras (both film and digital), cranes, ground vehicles, tethered balloons, tripods, and even towers are examples. Ground-based devices can give up to 50 meters of raised remote sensing data and are effective for obtaining low-altitude pictures with frequent coverage for dynamic phenomena. These platforms are generally affordable, stable, and give high-resolution data because to their low height.

2. Satellites

The monitoring system is carried via satellite platforms sent into space. Their orbital geometry and timing can be used to classify them. Geostationary, equatorial, and Sun-synchronous orbits are the three most popular orbits for remote sensing satellites. A geostationary satellite rotates at the same rate as the Earth (24 hours), therefore it always passes over the same spot on the planet. A satellite in an equatorial orbit circles Earth at a low inclination (the angle between the orbital plane and the equatorial plane).

#### 3.UAV

UAV platforms are aircraft that are controlled remotely by a remote-control operator and do not have an onboard pilot. Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), unmanned aircraft systems/vehicles, remotely piloted aircraft (RPA), and drone are all words that are frequently interchanged. According to the Federal Aviation Administration, their weight ranges from 0.2 to 25 kg (FAA).
