Book Description
"Introduction to Remote Sensing" by James B. Campbell provides a comprehensive introduction to the field of remote sensing. The book covers the fundamentals of remote sensing, including the electromagnetic spectrum, sensors and platforms, image interpretation, and image analysis techniques.
The first part of the book covers the basics of remote sensing, including the history of remote sensing, the electromagnetic spectrum, and sensors and platforms. The author also discusses how remote sensing data is collected, processed, and analyzed.
The second part of the book focuses on image interpretation, including visual image interpretation, digital image processing, and computer-based image analysis. The author discusses various image analysis techniques, such as image enhancement, image classification, and change detection.
The third part of the book covers applications of remote sensing, including land use and land cover mapping, environmental monitoring, and natural resource management. The author provides case studies that demonstrate how remote sensing data can be used to solve real-world problems.
The final part of the book covers emerging topics in remote sensing, including hyperspectral remote sensing, lidar remote sensing, and synthetic aperture radar. The author discusses the advantages and limitations of these new technologies and provides examples of their applications.
Throughout the book, the author emphasizes the importance of understanding the physical principles behind remote sensing and the importance of careful image interpretation. He also provides a strong foundation in the mathematics and physics required to understand remote sensing data.
The book is written in a clear and concise style and includes numerous figures and illustrations to help readers understand the concepts. The author also provides review questions at the end of each chapter to help readers test their understanding of the material.
Overall, "Introduction to Remote Sensing" is a valuable resource for students, researchers, and professionals in the field of remote sensing. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the field and covers both the basics and the latest advances in remote sensing technology and applications.
