Third Edition
By
Robert Schowengerdt, University of Arizona, Dept. of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Description
Remote sensing is a technology that engages electromagnetic sensors to measure and monitor changes in the earth?s surface and atmosphere.
Normally this is accomplished through the use of a satellite or aircraft. This book, in its 3rd edition, seamlessly connects the art
and science of earth remote sensing with the latest interpretative tools and techniques of computer-aided image processing. Newly expanded
and updated, this edition delivers more of the applied scientific theory and practical results that helped the previous editions earn
wide acclaim and become classroom and industry standards. Dr. Schowengerdt presents an advanced unified framework and rationale that
uniquely empowers the reader with the latest critical thinking skills and prerequisite knowledge needed to successfully design, develop
and incorporate maintainable remote sensing solutions for real-world application. Advanced remote sensing image processing techniques
such as hyperspectral image analysis, fusion of multisensor images and digital elevation model extraction from stereo imagery are discussed
theoretically in terms of spectral, spatial, and geometric models. An expanded exercise section is also included at the end of each
chapter allowing for the greatest level of mastery ever.
Audience
Working engineers in forestry, geology, geography, geophysics, cartography, climatology; researchers at government agencies and in academia
