Urban Remote Sensing: Monitoring, Synthesis and Modeling in the Urban Environment
Average Customer Review:


Remote Sensing Digital Image Analysis provides the non-specialist with an introduction to quantitative evaluation of satellite and aircraft derived remotely retrieved data. Each chapter covers the pros and cons of digital remotely sensed data, without detailed mathematical treatment of computer based algorithms, but in a manner conductive to an understanding of their capabilities and limitations. Problems conclude each chapter. This fourth edition has been developed to reflect the changes that have occurred in this area over the past several years. Its focus is on those procedures that seem now to have become part of the set of tools regularly used to perform thematic mapping. As with previous revisions, the fundamental material has been preserved in its original form because of its tutorial value; its style has been revised in places and it has been supplemented if newer aspects have emerged in the time since the third edition appeared. It still meets, however, the needs of the senior student and practitioner.

Archaeology has been transformed by technology that allows one to ‘see’ below the surface of the earth. This work illustrates the uses of advanced technology in archaeological investigation. It deals with hand-held instruments that probe the subsurface of the earth to unveil layering and associated sites; underwater exploration and photography of submerged sites and artifacts; and the utilization of imaging from aircraft and spacecraft to reveal the regional setting of archaeological sites and to assist in cultural resource management.

Remote Sensing for GeologistsRemote Sensing for Geologists: A Guide to Image Interpretation covers technology and processing techniques as they directly relate to interpreting imagery. This book is a manual of image interpretation that demonstrates what to look for on imagery when engaged in mineral or hydrocarbon exploration, mine and oil field development, engineering projects, and environmental monitoring. Four sections comprise this volume: project initiation; exploration techniques; exploitation and engineering remote sensing; and environmental concerns. They combine to provide you with a solid foundation of what image interpretation is, and enables you to recognize features of interest and effectively use imagery in projects for the petroleum, mining, or groundwater industries.

This book presents the fundamentals of remote sensing technology, but rather than containing lengthy explanations of sensor specifications and operation, it concentrates instead on the application of the technology to key environmental systems. Each system forms the basis of a separate chapter, and each is illustrated by real world case studies and examples.
Readership
The book is intended for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in earth science, environmental science, or physical geography taking a course in environmental remote sensing. It will also be an invaluable reference for environmental scientists and managers who require an overview of the use of remote sensing in monitoring and mapping environmental change at regional and global scales.
