Advanced remote sensing : terrestrial information extraction and applications

"Advanced Remote Sensing" is an application-based reference that provides a single source of mathematical concepts necessary for remote sensing data gathering and assimilation. It presents state-of-the-art techniques for estimating land surface variables from a variety of data types, including optical sensors such as RADAR and LIDAR. Scientists in a number of different fields including geography, geology, atmospheric science, environmental science, planetary science and ecology will have access to critically-important data extraction techniques and their virtually unlimited applications. While rigorous enough for the most experienced of scientists, the techniques are well designed and integrated, making the book's content intuitive, clearly presented, and practical in its implementation. This title provides a comprehensive overview of various practical methods and algorithms. It provides detailed description of the principles and procedures of the state-of-the-art algorithms. It includes real-world case studies that open several chapters. It presents more than 500 full-color figures and tables. It is edited by top remote sensing experts with contributions from authors across the geosciences.
