Description

This book introduces the principles and methods of remote sensing and image interpretation, focusing on how satellite and airborne imagery can be used to study and understand the Earth’s surface. It covers the fundamental concepts of remote sensing, including the electromagnetic spectrum, sensor technologies, and image acquisition techniques, along with methods for processing and analyzing images. The book emphasizes the importance of interpreting images to extract useful information for a wide range of applications, such as environmental monitoring, land-use planning, disaster management, and agricultural monitoring. It explores various image enhancement, classification, and analysis techniques to support accurate interpretation and decision-making. Through practical examples, case studies, and hands-on exercises, this book provides a comprehensive approach to remote sensing and image interpretation, making it an invaluable resource for geoscientists, environmental scientists, urban planners, and students in remote sensing and GIS fields.
