Description for Quantitative Remote Sensing of Land Surfaces
Hardcover. Processing the vast amounts of data on the Earth's land surface environment generated by NASA's and other international satellite programs is a significant challenge. Series: Wiley Series in Remote Sensing & Image Processing. Num Pages: 560 pages, references. BIC Classification: RGW; TNC. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 245 x 167 x 34. Weight in Grams: 960.
Processing the vast amounts of data on the Earth's land surface environment generated by NASA's and other international satellite programs is a significant challenge. Filling a gap between the theoretical, physically-based modelling and specific applications, this in-depth study presents practical quantitative algorithms for estimating various land surface variables from remotely sensed observations.
A concise review of the basic principles of optical remote sensing as well as practical algorithms for estimating land surface variables quantitatively from remotely sensed observations.
Emphasizes both the basic principles of optical remote sensing and practical algorithms for estimating land surface variables quantitatively from remotely ... Read more
