Introductory Principles of remote sensing

---

Remote sensing has transformed our understanding of natural process, the way we view the Earth, and our place on it. The analysis, application and interpretation of remotely sensed images has brought significant advances in a wide range of fields-from climatology geology, agriculture and oceanography to urban planning, environment monitoring, marketing and insurance. Yet seeking to obtain further information and a deeper understanding of remote sensing can be daunting, leading to conclusions that remote sensing is a complex subject. Introductory remote sensing : principles and concepts provides a comprehensive introduction to both the theory and application of remote sensing, unravelling the complexities of this field of science. The book addresses four key questions : What is remote sensing?, What principles govern remote sensing?, How are remote sensing data obtained?, What are the applications of remote sensing?. Chapter 1 introduces the field of remote sensing and traces its historical development and evolution from aerial platforms and early manned space flights to the sophisticated Earth observation satellites of today. Chapter 2 presents detailed explanations of core remote sensing principles and concepts-the theory required before a clear understanding of remotely sensed images can be achieved. Important remote sensing platforms including landsat, SPOT adn NOAA and spaceborne radar systems are described in. Chapter 3, before the final Chapter 4 examines and illustrates mani of the applications of remotely sensed images in various fields.
