Fundamentals of Satellite Remote Sensing: An Environmental Approach (2nd Edition) – PDF

Fundamentals of Satellite Remote Sensing: An Environmental Approach, 2nd Edition (PDF) is your ultimate guide to understanding remote sensing systems that use satellites for observing and analyzing the Earth’s surface. This edition nurtures a global perspective, addressing international debates, and legal issues that surround the field. The book’s primary focus is on the advantages of utilizing remote sensing data for monitoring the planet and highlights the best methods to optimize its use.

The 2nd edition eBook features an introduction to the crucial processes that lead to the acquisition of space-borne imagery and a rundown of the principal satellite observation systems. You’ll also learn about visual and digital image analysis, interpretation techniques, and their various applications to management and science. The latter part of the ebook encompasses the integration of remote sensing with GIS for environmental analysis.

The Second Edition of Fundamentals of Satellite Remote Sensing offers an in-depth analysis of image spatial properties, includes vivid illustrations in full color, and covers topics like visual analysis, time series analysis, and data fusion. The updated information on recent satellite missions, such as Sentinel-2, Landsat-8, hyperspectral, and hyperspatial programs, make it a complete resource for all environmental studies.

Notably, the eBook provides examples of EO data and issues that cover different environmental problems such as near-ground missions (including UAV) and ground sensors (cameras, LIDAR, spectro-radiometers, and more) to support EO analysis. In addition, the book has sample images acquired from different ecosystems, using varying spatial resolutions that help illustrate different interpretation techniques.

Whether you’re an environmental researcher, academic, student, or specialist, you’ll find Fundamentals of Satellite Remote Sensing: An Environmental Approach, 2nd Editionresourceful and a must-have for all your environmental science studies.
