Introduction to Remote Sensing
A leading text for undergraduate- and graduate-level courses, this book introduces widely used forms of remote sensing imagery and their applications in plant sciences, hydrology, earth sciences, and land use analysis. The text provides comprehensive coverage of principal topics and serves as a framework for organizing the vast amount of remote sensing information available on the Web. Including case studies and review questions, the book's 4 sections and 21 chapters are carefully designed as independent units that instructors can select from as needed for their courses.This new 5th edition reflects the significant technological and methodological advances in the field.
