A volume in the Remote Sensing Handbook series, Remotely Sensed
Data Characterization, Classification, and Accuracies documents the
scientific and methodological advances that have taken place during
the last 50 years. The other two volumes in the series are Land
Resources Monitoring, Modeling, and Mapping with Remote Sensing,
and Remote Sensing of Water Resources, Disasters, and Urban
Studies. This volume demonstrates the experience, utility, methods,
and models used in studying a wide array of remotely sensed data
characterization, classification, and accuracies for terrestrial
applications. Leading experts on global geographic coverage, study
areas, and array of satellite and sensors contribute to this unique
handbook. This theoretical as well as highly practical book
represents a thorough history of advancement in the field over last
50 years, bringing us to where we are now, and highlighting future
possibilities. Highlights include: Fundamental and advanced topics
in remote-sensing satellites and sensors Remote sensing data
calibration, normalization, harmonization, and synthesis Optical,
Radar, LiDAR, thermal, hyperspectral, and other satellite sensors,
normalization of remotely sensed data, and data degradations
Digital image processing, urban image classification, and image
classification methods in land use\land cover, cropland, change
detection studies Enhanced vegetation indices and standardization
of vegetation indices Object-based image analysis (OBIA) and
geospatial data integration LiDAR data processing and applications
Geoprocessing, GIS, and GIScience GNSS applications Crowdsourcing
and cloud computing Google Earth for Earth Sciences Map accuracies
Remote-sensing law or space law, and a host of other topics
Considered magnum opus on the subject, the three-volume Remote
Sensing Handbook is edited by Dr. Prasad S. Thenkabail of the
United States Geological Survey and a renowned international expert
in remote sensing and GIScience, with contributions from the very
best leading global experts, the handbook gives you a knowledge
base on the evolution of remote sensing science, current
state-of-the-art technology, and a future vision for the field.
