Remote Sensing of Landscapes with Spectral Images

Remote Sensing of Landscapes with Spectral Images

John B. Adams

This volume describes how to process and interpret spectral images using physical models to bridge the gap between the engineering and theoretical sides of remote-sensing and the outdoors world. Examples are drawn from a variety of landscapes and interpretations are tested against the reality seen on the ground. The reader is led through analysis of real images (using figures and explanations) and examples are chosen to illustrate important aspects of the analytic framework. The book is supplemented by a web-site hosting digital color versions of figures in the book as well as ancillary images (www.cambridge.org/9780521662214).

Physical Principles of Remote Sensing



Physical Principles of Remote Sensing

W. G. Rees

Substantially revised and expanded, this new edition includes a discussion of the radiative transfer equation, atmospheric sounding techniques and interferometric radar, an expanded list of problems (with solutions), and a discussion of the Global Positioning System (GPS). This book forms the basis of an introductory course in remote sensing. The main readership will be students and researchers in remote sensing, geography, cartography, surveying, meteorology, earth sciences and environmental sciences generally, as well as physicists, mathematicians and engineers.

An Introduction to Ocean Remote Sensing

An Introduction to Ocean Remote Sensing

Seelye Martin

Examining the use of satellite data in the retrieval of oceanic physical and biological properties, this study presents examples of the kinds of data that can be acquired and recounts their oceanographic application. It also describes the national and international programs in satellite oceanography of the past two decades, and reviews current and future programs up to 2019. The textbook, designed for graduate and senior undergraduate courses in satellite oceanography, will prepare students and interested scientists to use satellite data in oceanographic research.
