Optical Remote Sensing:Science and Technology (Optical Engineering Series)

Egan (physics, City University of New York) explores concepts in the mathematical representation of polarization, descriptors, and various optical elements used in the analysis of polarization in aircraft and satellite technology. Experiments from the NASA Lear Airborne Observatory and the Mariner explorers are presented as a basis for recent advances in remote sensing and polarization. The book can be used as a text for undergraduate remote sensing courses, and will be useful to those in aircraft and satellite remote sensing in geology, the military, agriculture, forestry, hydrology, and seismology.
