High Resolution Remote Sensing: Precise Spectral, Spatial and Temporal Satellite Data for Environmental Applications

The book provides a timely insight in principles, techniques and methods of air - and satellite data analysis. It appeals to practitioners, scientists, lecturers and graduate students and is to be used as a basic work as well as an impression and reference book. It notably takes into account the current trends of remote sensing technologies, which are signified by a rapid increase in the geometrical, timely and spectral accuracy for the spatial coverage of the earth's surface. This development is accompanied by several new and modified approaches of data evaluation, which are dealt with in detail. Due to its didactical concept, the book is a concise compendium for independent compilation of fundamental as well as specific working steps acquisition up to the issue of the final product (map) from high resolution remote sensing data.
