A PRACTICAL, FULL-COLOR GUIDE TO REMOTE SENSING

Written by an internationally renowned expert in the field, An Introduction to Contemporary Remote Sensing introduces the latest developments in remote sensing and imaging science. This book covers basic principles and discusses essential technologies, such as aerial photography, radar, Lidar (light detection and ranging), photogrammetry, satellites, thermal radiation, and much more. Full-color images illustrate the concepts presented, and review questions at the end of each chapter help reinforce learning. This detailed resource provides the solid foundation in remote sensing required for developing diverse geospatial applications.

Coverage includes:

Geographic information system (GIS)
Global positioning system (GPS), mobile mapping, and Google Earth
Electromagnetic radiation principles
Characteristics of remotely sensed data
Spatial, spectral, radiometric, and temporal resolution
Aerial photo interpretation
Photogrammetry
Remote sensors
Earth observation satellites
Digital image analysis
Thermal remote sensing
Active remote sensing
