This book is about applications of remote sensing techniques in the
studies on soils. In pursuance of the objective, the book initially
provides an introduction to various elements and concepts of remote
sensing, and associated technologies , namely Geographic
Information System (GIS), Global Positioning System (GPS) in
chapter-1. An overview of the sensors used to collect remote
sensing data and important Earth observation missions is provided
in chapter-2. The processing of satellite digital data (geometric
and radiometric corrections, feature reduction, digital data
fusion, image enhancements and analysis) is dealt with in
Chapter-3. In the chapter to follow the interpretation of remote
sensing data , very important and crucial step in d eriving
information on natural resources including soils resources, is
discussed. An introduction to soils as a natural body with respect
to their formation, physical and chemical properties used during
inventory of soils, and soil classification is given in
Chapter-5.The spectral response patterns of soils including
hyperspectral characteristics -fundamental to deriving information
on soils from spectral measurements, and the techniques of soil
resources mapping are discussed in chapter-6 and -7,respectively.
Furthermore, the creation of digital soil resources database and
the development of soil information systems, a very important
aspect of storage and dissemination of digital soil data to the end
users are discussed in ch.apter-8. Lastly, the applications of
remote sensing techniques in soil moisture estimation and soil
fertility evaluation are covered in chapter-9 and -10,
respectively.
