Description

Here is a comprehensive introduction to the principles and applications of remote sensing written by contributors actively involved in optical remote sensing research. Special attention is paid to the interrelationship between land surfaces and the intervening atmosphere. The book covers a wide range of techniques and their practical implementations; it focuses specifically on the spectral region of 0.04 to 16 microns and demonstrates how the same basic measurements can be used in several different applications to obtain quantitative measurements.

Table of Contents

• Field measurements of bidirectional reflectance
• soil reflectance
• soil influences in remotely sensed vegetation-canopy spectra
• the theory of photon transport in leaf canopies
• estimation of plant-canopy attributes from spectral reflectance measurements
• applications in forest science and management
• applications to coastal wetlands vegetation
• remote sensing of snow in visible and near-infrared wavelengths
• estimating evaporation and carbon assimilation using infrared temperature data.
