Advances in Mapping from Remote Sensor Imagery: Techniques and
Applications reviews some of the latest developments in remote
sensing and information extraction techniques applicable to
topographic and thematic mapping. Providing an interdisciplinary
perspective, leading experts from around the world have contributed
chapters examining state-of-the-art techniques as well as widely
used methods.
The book covers a broad range of topics including photogrammetric
mapping and LiDAR remote sensing for generating high quality
topographic products, global digital elevation models, current
methods for shoreline mapping, and the identification and
classification of residential buildings. Contributors also showcase
cutting-edge developments for environmental and ecological mapping,
including assessment of urbanization patterns, mapping vegetation
cover, monitoring invasive species, and mapping marine oil spills
crucial for monitoring this significant environmental hazard.
The authors exemplify the information presented in this text
with case studies from around the world. Examples include:
- Envisat/ERS-2 images used to generate digital elevation models
over northern Alaska
- In situ radiometric observations and MERIS images employed to
retrieve chlorophyll a concentration in inland waters in
Australia
- ERS-1/2 SAR images utilized to map spatiotemporal deformation
in the southwestern United States
Aerospace sensors and related information extraction techniques
that support various mapping applications have recently garnered
more attention due to the advances in remote sensing theories and
technologies. This book brings together top researchers in the
field, providing a state-of-the-art review of some of the latest
advancements in remote sensing and mapping technologies.
