Remote Sensing involves the collection and interpretation of information sensed from distant objects, using usually aircrafts and satellites [1]. It’s more common use it to sense the energy that is naturally emitted or reflected by the earth’s surface, from the atmosphere or from other devices [2]. Any object with a temperature above the absolute zero (-273°C) emits energy called electromagnetic radiation that depends on the object’s temperature. The higher the temperature of the object, the shorter it is the reflected electromagnetic radiation wavelength [3].
