Fundamentals of Satellite Remote Sensing: An Environmental
Approach, Third Edition, is a definitive guide to remote sensing
systems that focuses on satellite-based remote sensing tools and
methods for space-based Earth observation (EO). It presents the
advantages of using remote sensing data for studying and monitoring
the planet, and emphasizes concepts that make the best use of
satellite data. The book begins with an introduction to the basic
processes that ensure the acquisition of space-borne imagery, and
provides an overview of the main satellite observation systems. It
then describes visual and digital image analysis, highlights
various interpretation techniques, and outlines their applications
to science and management. The latter part of the book covers the
integration of remote sensing with Geographic Information System
(GIS) for environmental analysis. This latest edition has been
written to reflect a global audience and covers the most recent
advances incorporated since the publication of the previous book,
relating to the acquisition and interpretation of remotely sensed
data. New in the Third Edition: Includes additional illustrations
in full color. Uses sample images acquired from different
ecosystems at different spatial resolutions to illustrate different
interpretation techniques. Includes updated EO missions, such as
the third generations of geostationary meteorological satellites,
the new polar orbiting platforms (Suomi), the ESA Sentinels
program, and high-resolution commercial systems. Includes extended
coverage of radar and LIDAR processing methods. Includes all new
information on near-ground missions, including unmanned aerial
vehicles (UAVs). Covers new ground sensors, as well as
machine-learning approaches to classification. Adds more focus on
land surface characterization, time series, change detection, and
ecosystem processes. Extends the interactions of EO data and GIS
that cover different environmental problems, with particular
relevance to global observation. Fundamentals of Satellite Remote
Sensing: An Environmental Approach, Third Edition, details the
tools that provide global, recurrent, and comprehensive views of
the processes affecting the Earth. As one of CRC's Essential
titles, this book and stands out as one of the best in its field
and is a must-have for researchers, academics, students, and
professionals involved in the field of environmental science, as
well as for libraries developing collections on the forefront of
this industry.
