The potential of remote sensing data in public works audit

Abstract
This paper analyzes the potential applications of remote sensing techniques in the audit and monitoring of infrastructure works. Currently, there is a
wide availability of remote sensing data from different sensors and platforms, providing a fast and useful source of information to describe the composition of
the elements present on the surface and their changes over time.
