卫星、航天飞机及普通飞机上配备的地形探测技术拓宽了人类的视野,它正在革新考古学家、古生物学家对地下历史遗迹的探索方式。波士顿大学遥感中心主任法鲁克·埃尔巴兹博士:“仪器的最新改进及数据解释的求精使人们对遥感在考古学、古生物学所起的作用感到乐观”。他又说:“现在愈来愈多的研究人员在实地探测一块地方前,首先要分析此地的空间摄影图像”。第一颗Landsat系列测绘卫星是美国在1972年发射的,它仅能探测大于200英尺宽的物体;后来的Landsat卫星可识别90英尺宽的物体;法国的Spot卫星可分辨不到,60
The terrain-detecting technology provided on satellites, space shuttles and common aircraft broadens the human horizon and is revolutionizing the way archaeologists and paleontologists explore underground historical sites. Dr. Farouk Erbazi, Director, Remote Sensing Center, Boston University: “The latest improvements in instrumentation and the refinement of data interpretation have led to optimism about the role of remote sensing in archeology and paleontology.” He added: “Now that more and more researchers are investigating a place in the field, they must first analyze the space photography images here.” The first Landsat series of satellites was launched by the United States in 1972. It can only detect objects larger than 200 feet wide. Later Landsat satellites can recognize objects that are 90 feet wide. France's Spot satellites can not distinguish between 60
