'A magnificent achievement. A who's who of contemporary remote
sensing have produced an engaging, wide-ranging and scholarly
review of the field in just one volume' - Professor Paul Curran,
Vice-Chancellor, Bournemouth University Remote Sensing acquires and
interprets small or large-scale data about the Earth from a
distance. Using a wide range of spatial, spectral, temporal, and
radiometric scales Remote Sensing is a large and diverse field for
which this Handbook will be the key research reference. Organized
in four key sections: * Interactions of Electromagnetic Radiation
with the Terrestrial Environment: chapters on Visible, Near-IR and
Shortwave IR; Middle IR (3-5 micrometers); Thermal IR ; Microwave *
Digital sensors and Image Characteristics: chapters on Sensor
Technology; Coarse Spatial Resolution Optical Sensors ; Medium
Spatial Resolution Optical Sensors; Fine Spatial Resolution Optical
Sensors; Video Imaging and Multispectral Digital Photography;
Hyperspectral Sensors; Radar and Passive Microwave Sensors; Lidar *
Remote Sensing Analysis - Design and Implementation: chapters on
Image Pre-Processing; Ground Data Collection; Integration with GIS;
Quantitative Models in Remote Sensing; Validation and accuracy
assessment; * Remote Sensing Analysis - Applications: LITHOSPHERIC
SCIENCES: chapters on Topography; Geology; Soils; PLANT SCIENCES:
Vegetation; Agriculture; HYDROSPHERIC and CRYSOPHERIC SCIENCES:
Hydrosphere: Fresh and Ocean Water; Cryosphere; GLOBAL CHANGE AND
HUMAN ENVIRONMENTS: Earth Systems; Human Environments & Links
to the Social Sciences; Real Time Monitoring Systems and Disaster
Management; Land Cover Change Illustrated throughout, an essential
resource for the analysis of remotely sensed data, the SAGE
Handbook of Remote Sensing provides researchers with a definitive
statement of the core concepts and methodologies in the discipline.
