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

4.0 out of 5 stars Complex Subject, Well-Written 12 April 2013
By Peter Curry - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
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 very well-written, the tables/charts are adequate. The only criticism I have of it is that it could explain just briefly more about some concepts that are more complex -- without it turning into a graduate-level textbook, of course. However, coupled with other class materials, it pairs very well in order to achieve an adequate level of understanding of most of the concepts involved with remote sensing.
