Book excerpt: Over the past decade, advances in sensor technology, processing algorithms, and computational capacity have taken remote sensing to a level where observations can be transformed into quantitative measurements, and the technology can be used in near real-time for mapping, monitoring and decision-making. For the third edition, this widely acclaimed book has been fully revised, enlarged and updated. It covers remote sensing in a wide range of optical, thermal, and microwave wavelengths and their host of geologic applications featuring sample applications from around the globe. In addition, it presents state-of-the-art content on emerging themes such as atmospheric interactions, spectroscopy, spectral indices, prospectivity modelling, and multi-sensor geodata integration. The subject matter is presented at a basic level, offering students an excellent introductory text on remote sensing. Further, the main part of the book will also be of great value to active researchers. Excerpt from the review of Remote Sensing Geology (2nd ed., 2003): International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation, 5 (2004) 239–240 “....Graduate students, research workers and professional earth scientists will use this book to their advantage and with pleasure; it is well-written, to the point and with an emphasis on understanding the principles underlying this wide spectre of technology in its application to the earth sciences. Remote sensing is a fascinating subject; so is geology. The author has fully succeeded in providing a fascinating book that combines them in a handy volume.” Jan J. Nossin

Download or read book Physical Fundamentals of Remote Sensing written by Erwin Schanda and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ten years ago the author, together with eight co-authors, edited a textbook Remote Sensing for Environmental Sciences within the series on Ecological Studies of Springer-Verlag. At that time there were not yet many books available on remote sensing. The decade that has elapsed was marked by a spectacular development in this field. This development took place in many directions: by widening the areas of application, by improvements of the methods and the sensors, by the introduction of new versatile platforms, but also by deepening the knowledge of the theoretical foundations. This evolution improved the ability to explain the interaction between electromagnetic radia tion and natural objects, which, in its turn, allowed for better modelization and for the creation of refined mathematical tools in the processing of remotely sensed data and in the determination of the physical status of remote objects. The community of research workers engaged in development and use of remote sensing methods changed accordingly from a modest group of scientists in the early 1970's to a considerable branch of specialized and interdisciplinary activity. The training of students had to be adapted to cope with the increasing number of people entering this new field and with the increasing quality of the material to be presented.

Download or read book Fundamentals of Remote Sensing written by S C Bhatia and published by Atlantic Publishers & Dist. This book was released on 2008 with total page 535 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Remote sensing has been defined as the detection, recognition or evolution of objects by means of distant sensing or recording devices. Historically, it developed quickly from technology of aerial photo-interpretation science. In recent decades, remote sensing technology has emerged to support data collection and analysis methods of potential interest. Besides, it holds importance for forest management and many other fields. Remote Sensing and Geographical Information Systems (GIS) deal with mapping technology, concepts of maps and all relevant terminology, which are necessary for the beginners to develop their skills in this new and upcoming technology. This book provides basic principles and techniques of remote sensing, microwave remote sensing, remote sensing platforms and sensors and data analysis techniques. Further, the book also covers GIS data quality issues, GIS data analyses and modelling, attributes of data management, GIS data input and editing, integration and linkage of remote sensing and GIS. The subject matter of the book has been divided into 23 chapters to provide focused attention to each aspect of remote sensingfrom fundamental considerations and processesto electromagnetic radiations, their properties and applicationsto observation satellites and hydrospheric sciences. An exclusive chapter has been devoted to natural hazards. All natural hazards are amenable in some degree to study by remote sensing because nearly all geologic, hydraulic and atmospheric phenomena that create hazardous situations are recurring events or processes that leave evidence of their previous occurrence. This evidence can be recorded, analysed and integrated into the planning process. All the topics have been covered in a cogent and lucid style to help the reader grasp the information quickly and easily. Glossary and Index have been provided at the end for quick reference. Diagrams, figures and tables supplement the text. The book is essential reading for all students and teachers of geology, earthquake engineering, life sciences, biotechnologies, bioinformatics, environment science, and research scholars in remote sensing and allied fields.

Download or read book Remote Sensing for Geoscientists written by Gary L. Prost and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2013-12-13 with total page 704 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This third edition of the bestselling Remote Sensing for Geologists: A Guide to Image Interpretation is now titled Remote Sensing for Geoscientists: Image Analysis and Integration. The title change reflects that this edition applies to a broad spectrum of geosciences, not just geology; stresses that remote sensing has become more than photointerpretation; and emphasizes integration of multiple remote sensing technologies to solve Earth science problems. The text reviews systems and applications, explains what to look for when analyzing imagery, and provides abundant case histories to illustrate the integration and application of these tools. See What’s New in the Second Edition: Broader coverage to include integration of multiple remote sensing technologies Expanded with significant new illustrations in color and reviews of new satellites and sensors Analysis of imagery for geobotanical remote sensing, remote geochemistry, modern analogs to ancient environments, and astrogeology The book covers how to initiate a project, including determining the objective, choosingthe right tools, and selecting imagery. It describes techniques used in geologic mapping and mineral and hydrocarbon exploration, image analysis used in mine development and petroleum exploitation, site evaluation, groundwaterdevelopment, surface water monitoring, geothermal resource exploitation, and logistics. It also demonstrates how imageryis used to establish environmental baselines; monitor land, air, and water quality; maphazards; and determine the effects of global warming. The many examples of geologic mapping on other planets and the moon highlight how to analyze planetary surface processes, map stratigraphy, and locate resources. The book then examines remote sensing and the public, geographic information systems and Google Earth, and how imagery is used by the media, in the legal system, in public relations, and by individuals. Readers should come away with a good understanding of what is involved in image analysis and interpretation and should be ableto recognize and identify geologic features of interest. Having read this book, they should be able to effectively use imagery in petroleum, mining, groundwater, surface water, engineering, and environmental projects.
