Download or read book Remote Sensing and Urban Analysis written by Jean-Paul Donnay and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2003-09-02 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the key geographical developments over the last two centuries has been that of urbanisation. In recent years this has exploded globally, particularly in developing countries. It is essential for governments, planners and researchers in geography and allied fields to understand this process and the main way of being able to do this is to accurately map these changes. The main method of this mapping is Remote Sensing. This up-to-date analysis of the area looks at a wide range of methodologies currently being used to produce and analyse remotely sensed data of urban areas. The authors examine the various techniques used to extract information from digital, multispectral images of urban areas. Donnay and Barnsley then go on to look at the identification of urban forms, the delineation of agglomerations and the development of urban morphology, considering the analysis of integrated data sets and surface models and going on to look at the estimation of human population levels.

This book was released on 2007-07-30 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This evaluation of the potential of remote sensing of urban areas helps to close a gap between the research-focused results offered by the "urban remote sensing" community, and the application of these data and products by the governing bodies of cities and urban regions. The authors present data from six urban regions worldwide. They explain what the important questions are, and how data and scientific skills can help answer them.

Book excerpt: A fascinating insight into the global battle for our energy future The global competition for scarce natural resources that pits the West against the super-hot economies of China and India, plus a clutch of other contenders including Russia, Brazil, and Indonesia, has become one of the biggest issues facing the world today. Whether it is the rare metal lithium found in salt pans in the Andes, gas from the Caspian Sea, oil off the coast of Brazil, coal from Africa's Zambezi River, or uranium from Kazakhstan, China and India are desperate to ensure the security of their future energy supplies. The same goes for food and water, as contamination and over-use take their toll, the need to provide continued access for the next generation and beyond has increased exponentially. In Earth Wars: The Battle for Global Resources, international business journalist Geoff Hiscock explores the problems, potential solutions, and inevitable tensions in this ongoing scramble for finite natural resources. Going beyond "big power" politics to explore resource ownership and the use of innovative technology to get the most out of them, the book takes a forward-looking approach to this pressing issue. Written in clear, jargon-free language, it tells the global resources story in a fresh and engaging way that anyone can understand. Includes insightful, up-to-the-minute coverage of the most pressing debates over resource allocations Discusses the major Chinese and Indian businesses that are just becoming known to those in the West (Sinopec, CNOOC, CNPC, Indian Oil, ONGC, Reliance, Coal India, SAIL, and many others) Presents resource- and region-specific chapters to help readers view the pertinent issues from multiple angles As the economies of China and India grow to challenge those of the West, the battle over natural resources will continue to heat up. Earth Wars looks at this very real problem in-depth, presenting a definitive look at one of the greatest challenges of our time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the reviews of the first edition: "Quantitative evaluation of satellite and aircraft derived and remotely retrieved data is a increasingly important tool for all ecologists. The author fulfills his stated aim of providing an introductory text for non-specialists. The book introduces all the basic concepts necessary to facilitate quantitative evaluation of digital remotely sensed data in such a way that the reader can appreciate limitations of computer-based algorithms and the pros and cons of alternative procedures without having to follow a mathematically detailed treatment. Each of the eleven chapters concludes with a critical appraisal of the associated bibliography and with a collection of problems, presumably aimed at undergraduate students, but of considerable use to the single reader as well." #"Ecomod -" "The ISEM Newsletter"#1 Now in its second edition this well established introductory text presents the complete spectrum of acquisition, analysis and processing of remotely sensed image data. The revisions reflect the developments in satellite and sensor programs as well as new processing techniques. A new chapter is devoted to knowledge-based image processing.
