DESCRIPTION:
The Reference Book I will keep with me for years I thought I had a good understanding of Remote Sensing until I purchased this text and took Prof. Olsen's class. The book is written very concisely but is packed with information. A background in Physics will be helpful in using this text as it covers Remote Sensing and Satellite Technology from the most fundamental l. Nima Moshtagh said Great book on space-based remote sensing. This is a great introductory book to the field of space-based remote sensing for engineers. It has a right balance of engineering details for many remote sensing satellites (IKONOS, Landsat,) and the description of the underlying phenomenologies related to those missions.
R. This monograph describes this diverse set of applications using full-color graphics and a friendly, readable format.Contents - Preface - Introduction to Remote Sensing - Electromagnetic Basics - Visible Imagery - Orbital Mechanics Interlude - EO Spectral Imagery - Image Analysis - Thermal Infrared - Radar - Radar and LIDAR - Appendix 1: Derivatives - Appendix 2: CORONA - Appendix 3: Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System - Appendix 4: Useful Equations and Constants - Index. Remote Sensing from Air and Space will guide you in the use of remote sensing for military and intelligence gathering applications. Olsen of the Naval Postgraduate School offers an eclectic description of the technologies and underlying physics for a wide range of remote sensing systems, including optical, thermal, radar, and lidar systems. C. It is a must read for students working on systems acquisition or for anyone interested in the products derived from remote sensing systems
