Publisher's Synopsis
A timely and comprehensive guide to using remote sensing methods for Earth-based and space-based projects
In the newly revised second edition of Remote Sensing for Earth and Planetary Science, a team of distinguished researchers delivers an up-to-date and wide-ranging overview of remote sensing technologies and applications. The authors include cutting-edge case studies, with many drawn from NASA projects and other international planetary science projects, as well as discussions of the latest advances in remote sensing technologies.
This book offers significant new sections-complete with hands-on examples-covering machine learning, fluid lensing, gravimetry, reflectometry and scatterometry.
- A thorough introduction to remote sensing for both Earth-based and planetary science applications
- Comprehensive explorations of remote sensing in aquatic systems and the solar system
- Practical discussions of digital image processing, computer vision, and machine learning
- Complete treatments of promising potential developments in the remote sensing industry, including emerging technologies like hyper-spatial satellites, gravimetry, and ultra-long endurance aircraft
Perfect for earth and space scientists in research centers, Remote Sensing for Earth and Planetary Science will also benefit researchers working in universities and government agencies, as well as students and lecturers on astronomy and earth science courses at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
