The book begins with an introduction to the basic processes that ensure the acquisition of space-borne imagery and provides an overview of the main satellite observation systems. It then describes visual and digital image analysis, highlights various interpretation techniques, and outlines their applications to science and management. The latter part of the book covers the integration of remote sensing with GIS for environmental analysis.
Based on the first English version published in 2010, this latest edition has been written to reflect a global audience, and factors in international debates and legal issues surrounding EO, as well as future developments and trends.
New in the Second Edition:
Includes additional illustrations now in full color
Uses sample images acquired from different ecosystems at different spatial resolutions to illustrate different interpretation techniques
Updates information on recent satellite missions (Landsat-8, Sentinel-2, hyperspectral and hyperspatial programs)
Covers near-ground missions (including UAV) and ground sensors (spectro-radiometers, cameras, LIDAR, etc.) to support EO analysis
Offers analysis of image spatial properties
Presents material on visual analysis, time series analysis, and data fusion
Provides examples of EO data that cover different environmental problems, with particular relevance to global observation
Fundamentals of Satellite Remote Sensing: An Environmental Approach, Second Edition details the tools that provide global, recurrent, and comprehensive views of the processes affecting the Earth and is a must-have for researchers, academics, students, and professionals involved in the field of environmental science.
