Principles of Applied Remote Sensing

Authors: Khorram, S., van der Wiele, C.F., Koch, F.H., Nelson, S.A.C., Potts, M.D.
Covers principles and processing techniques including newly developed data fusion methods
Written for both undergraduate and graduate students
Covers diverse applications of remote sensing technology for Earth observation, episodic events, and planetary explorations

This textbook is one of the first to explain the fundamentals and applications of remote sensing at both undergraduate and graduate levels. Topics include definitions and a brief history of payloads and platforms, data acquisition and specifications, image processing techniques, data integration and spatial modeling, and a range of applications covering terrestrial, atmospheric, oceanographic and planetary disciplines. The policy and law issues of remote sensing and the future trends on the horizon are also covered.
Remote sensing is an exciting, dynamic technology that is transforming the Earth sciences – terrestrial, atmospheric, and marine – as well as the practices of agriculture, disaster response, engineering, natural resources, providing evidence in legal cases and documented humanitarian crises, and many other fields. Increasingly, understanding of these techniques will be central to a number of disciplines, particularly as the technology advances.
