Synopsis

Human beings have demonstrated their capacity to dramatically alter Earth's natural systems with both beneficial and negative consequences. To make informed decisions concerning our ever changing environment, a better understanding of the tools used in environmental monitoring, spatial analysis, and information extraction is very important. An extensive review of remote sensing principles with emphasis on environmental applications, Fundamentals of Satellite Remote Sensing provides a comprehensive range of topics, from physical principles to data acquisition systems and visual and digital interpretation techniques.
This textbook discusses new interpretation approaches including hyperspectral and temporal analyses, high spatial resolution data, and radiative transfer models. It includes analyses of accuracy assessment methods and demonstrates how to integrate remote sensing results with geographic information systems. The information covered also includes recent missions, such as Terra-Aqua, Envisat, Ikonos-Quickbird-Geoeye and SPOT-5 as well as new sensors, such as Lidar and interpherometric radar.
