Full-color images illustrate the concepts presented, and review questions at the end of each chapter help reinforce learning. A PRACTICAL, FULL-COLOR GUIDE TO REMOTE SENSINGWritten 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 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. This book covers basic principles and discusses essential technolo
Peter Curry said Complex Subject, Well-Written. I bought this book as an alternative to the usual book that had been selected for the graduate-level remote sensing class. My understanding is that this book was written more for undergraduate level. Since I am new to my graduate program -- and therefore not yet used to reading for graduate classes -- I figured this book would explain the same concepts I need to know more succinctly than normal textbook assigned for my class. I have found this book to achieve this aim I just explained. It
