Overview
Remote sensing, the use of electromagnetic sensors to monitor the earth's surface and atmosphere, is an innovative field of science that has a variety of applications, from the production of topographic of geologic maps, to the detection of developing hurricanes or floods.Following the standard set by the previous volume, the Second Edition of REMOTE SENSING: Models and Methods for Image Processing has been completely updated with recent results and data about this developing technology. In particular, this Second Edition discusses a framework for designing and evaluating image processing technology, which is the backbone of remote sensing.
The material is suited for graduate level engineering, physical and natural science courses, or for practicing remote sensing scientists. Each chapter is enhanced by student exercises designed to stimulate an understanding of the material. Over 300 figures were produced specifically for this book and numerous tables provide a rich bibliography of the research literature.
Audience: Researchers and graduate students in any science that utilizes image processing in conjunction with remote sensing devices, including; electrical and optical engineers, physicists, geologists, ecologists, computer scientists, environmental and natural scientists, and astronomers.
