Bøker i Remote Sensing Applications Series-serien

Presenting the fundamentals of remote sensing at an introductory level, this book explores all major aspects of hyperspectral image acquisition, exploitation, interpretation, and applications. It introduces spectral radiometry concepts, covers imaging spectrometers, and addresses atmospheric interactions.

Integrating Scale in Remote Sensing and GIS serves as the most comprehensive documentation of the scientific and methodological advances that have taken place in integrating scale and remote sensing. It demonstrates new developments in the concept of scale within the purview of the "science of scale" for multispatial, multitemporal, and multispectral data. Divided into four thematic groups: scale issues and multiple scaling; physical scale as applied to natural resources; urban scale; and human health/social scale, this book is a vital resource to researchers, instructors, and students alike, seriously involved in the field of GIScience.

This book emphasizes the most advanced remote sensing systems and algorithms for image processing, enhancement, feature extraction, data fusion, image classification, image-based modeling, image-based sampling design, map accuracy assessment and quality control. It also discusses their applications for evaluation of natural resources, including sampling design, land use and land cover classification, natural landscape and ecosystems, forestry, agriculture, biomass and carbon-cycle modeling, wetland classification and dynamics monitoring, and soils and minerals mapping.
