Review
".. for those using remote sensing, it is invaluable and I have yet to find a book that can teach more." (Journal Of Sedimentary Research, June 2007)
--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Product Description
From recent developments in digital image processing to the next generation of satellite systems, the sixth edition of this comprehensive text introduces students to the latest developments in the exciting field of remote sensing and image interpretation. The text examines the basics of analog image analysis while placing greater emphasis on digitally based systems and analysis techniques. The presentation is discipline neutral, so students in any field of study can gain a clear understanding of these systems and their virtually unlimited applications.

Format:Hardcover
This introduction to Remote Sensing has already become a classic textbook. It introduces the basic concepts of image interpretation based primarily based on aerial photographs. It also contains a comprehensive discussion of a wide range of detectors which is both good as background knowledge and later as refernce. The only downside is that information on satellite missions quickly get outdated as old system die and new ones are launched.
It's section on digital image processing and microwave systems are quite applications oriented but also give a quite good view on the theoretical background.

The thing I missed the most was a better explanation of the physical principles behind remote sensing which is not very extensively covered in this book.
But it is the best introduction to remote sensing I have seen, Recommended!

A good technical overview of RS
12 Feb 1998
Format:Hardcover
The text is a comprehensive introduction to RS that covers the science from physical basis to sensors and applications. It is not a HOW-TO-DO-IT book as opposed to a complete textbooks for students in this area who need good background of the science and its application. We use it as a good textbook for solid foundation prior to more practical texts on HOW-TO-DO-IT.

Great technical overview with enough gory details to stay interesting
18 July 2008
Format:Hardcover
I am reading this book for an introductory course in Remote Sensing. I thoroughly enjoy the level of detail and the presentation of quantitative methods for analyzing data. The text can be somewhat dry (and dense) at times and difficult to digest, but for the most part, it manages to stay interesting. There are a lot of illustrations (including a whole section of color plates) that the student can reference. Also, the scope of the book is broad enough to be suitable for an introductory course, but still manages to stay focused (only 8 chapters!).

Absolutly One of the BEST!!
15 April 2004
Format:Hardcover
This book is one of the best on the market on Image Interpretation. After taking a class and the instructor had a different book (which was poorly written book) I bought this book. I found it interesting and easy to use, any math was explained step by step! I cant wait to get the 5th edition! This is a must for any person who is interested in this topic or is working in the field.
