Imagery and remotely sensed data is one of the most efficient tools for the assessment and monitoring of earth resources. Since the advent of cheap and declassified satellite images in the late 1970s and early 1980s, mineral and hydrocarbon explorations have begun to use satellite imagery to map not only the visual light spectrum over exploration processes, but spectra which are beyond the visible. Satellite based spectroscopes allow the modern hydrocarbon explorations, in regions devoid of cover and vegetation, to map minerals and alteration directly. Improvement in the resolution of modern commercially based satellites has also improved the utility of satellite imagery. RADAR imagery which is one of remotely sensed data is an acronym for radio detection and ranging. This object-detection system which uses electromagnetic waves specifically radio waves to determine the range, altitude, direction, or speed of both moving and fixed objects. The radar dish, or antenna, transmits pulses of radio waves or microwaves which bounce off any object in their path. The object returns a tiny part of the wave's energy to a dish or antenna which is usually located at the same site as the transmitter. For example GPR which is a geophysical method that uses radar pulses to image the subsurface uses electromagnetic radiation in the microwave band (UHF/VHF frequencies) of the radio spectrum, and detects the reflected signals from subsurface structures. This system can be used in a variety of media, including rock, soil, ice, fresh water, pavements and structures. It can detect objects, changes in material, and voids and cracks. Using remotely sensed imagery in the process of hydrocarbon exploration accelerates whole the process enormously. The best situation that this method is highly recommended is in hydrocarbon exploration in vast areas as the basis of further studies.
