This book is based on the research results of the authors in the
area of integration with related data existing in literature. The
main aim of this book is to demonstrate the process of data
collection and processing for management. This book describes
suitability and how space technology advances could be used and
oriented as an influential instrument in management. Within the
framework of this book, the content has reflected general aspects
of space technology applications. Remote sensing methods and GIS
technology have been used as an instrument of data collection and
processing depending on requirements of the task expected to be
solved and implemented within the management process. This book
presents space technology applications in different disciplines of
engineering and the engineering management process.
Remote Sensing is the method of measurement of the object
properties on the Earth's surface using data acquired from aircraft
and satellites. This method makes it possible to carry out the
measurement from the distance for the purpose of this research and
to display those measurements over a two-dimensional spatial grid,
i.e. images. Remote Sensing method, which is based on the data
accessed from satellites, provides an opportunity to observe and
monitor the Earth, collect appropriate information with further
processing and integration of the Geographic Information System.
This book's aim is to reveal the opportunities of the application
of Remote Sensing and Geographic Information System advances in
wide areas of engineering applications through analyzing its own
achievements and challenges as well as creative sources existing in
the indicated area. This book examines the conceptual aspects of
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information System. Its applications
are based on implemented projects and its outcomes found a perfect
reliable place in the field of engineering.
This book focuses on the application of space technology as a means
of potentially solving pollution problems. Remote sensing
technology and the tremendous contemporary expansion of
multilateral environmental treaties grew out of separate but
parallel developments in the 1960's and 1970's. As a tool to
improve environmental co-operation, remote sensing has great
promise. Just as remotely sensed images raised awareness of ozone
depletion, images of receding glaciers and polar ice caps may also
have a similar effect on the public's awareness of global warning
and its willingness to accept stricter measures that would limit
greenhouse gas emissions.
