Publisher's Synopsis
Here is a comprehensive introduction to the principles and;applications of remote sensing written by contributors actively involved in optical remote sensing research. Special attention is paid to the interrelationship between land surfaces and the intervening atmosphere. The book covers a wide range of techniques and their practical implementations; it focuses;specifically on the spectral region of 0.04 to 16 microns and;demonstrates how the same basic measurements can be used in;several different applications to obtain quantitative measurements.
