Bücher der Reihe Remote Sensing Applications Series

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.

Provides coverage of the issues unique to coastal environments. This book presents data for measuring and monitoring coastal zones and explains how decision makers and resource managers can use this data to address contemporary issues in coastal zone management.

Featuring contributors from 17 countries, this book presents the advances in environmental remote sensing. It provides the developments in remote sensing data and sensor systems, paying attention to LIDAR, high spatial-resolution sensing, hyperspectral sensing, and data fusion of various sensors.

As debates about climate change and sustainability intensify, national parks and other protected lands become more important as indicators of ecosystem conditions. Providing a suite of remote sensing-based approaches for the protected lands around the world, this book addresses contemporary issues in monitoring, conservation planning, and ecosystem forecasting. Case studies explore remote sensing applications and examine advanced remote sensing technologies, including airborne and spaceborne high spatial resolution imageries, multispectral and multitemporal time series data, satellite interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR), and the integration of remote sensing and field measurements for information extraction and modeling.

Featuring contributors from 17 countries, this book systematically presents recent advances in environmental remote sensing. First, the text provides the latest developments in remote sensing data and sensor systems, paying special attention to LIDAR, high spatial-resolution sensing, hyperspectral sensing, and data fusion of various sensors. Next, it examines cutting-edge algorithms and techniques for the detection, interpretation, characterization, and modeling of Earth surface features. The final section explores applications of current data, sensors, algorithms, and techniques to the remote sensing of land, vegetation, water, and air.

This book introduces the fundamentals of LiDAR (Light Ranging and Detection) remote sensing, LiDAR data processing and analysis methods and applications of LiDAR in forestry and vegetation mapping, urban environments, geosciences, natural hazards mapping and archaeological survey.
