About the Book

Remote sensing is an innovative field of science which makes use of electromagnetic sensors to monitor the surface of the earth and the earth's atmosphere. Remote sensing has a variety of practical applications which include mapping the earth's topography to detect the volume of a developing hurricane. Remote Sensing contains the recent results and data pertaining to this developing technology. The book comprises of models and methods for image processing. It is recommended for students of graduate level engineering and those who are studying physical and natural sciences. The book is of immense help to scientists who are practising remote sensing. Remote Sensing was published by Elsevier in 2011 and is available in paperback. The book is currently in its third edition. Key Features: The exercise at the end of each chapter helps to improve the student's understanding of the concepts. Numerous tables help in a clearer illustration of concepts.
