Global Urban Monitoring and Assessment through Earth Observation Format: Hardcover Publish Date: March 7, 2014 ISBN-10: 1466564490 ISBN-13: 978-1466564497 Pages: 424 Publisher: CRC Press, Taylor and Francis Group Link to the Publisher Site for Detailed Information and Ordering |
Cities and towns are the original producers of many of the global environmental problems related to waste disposal, air and water pollution. There is a rapidly growing need for technologies that will enable monitoring of the world’s natural resources and urban assets, and managing exposure to natural and man-made risks. The Group on Earth Observation calls for strengthening the cooperation and coordination among global observing systems and research programs. This book introduces this important international collaborative effort, reviews the current state of global urban remote sensing, and expands on future directions in the field.

About the Book:
An Introduction to Contemporary Remote Sensing introduces the latest developments in remote sensing and imaging science. This book covers basic principles and discusses essential technologies, such as aerial photography, radar, Lidar (light detection and ranging), photogrammetry, satellites, thermal radiation, and much more. Full-color images illustrate the concepts presented, and review questions at the end of each chapter help reinforce learning. This detailed resource provides the solid foundation in remote sensing required for developing diverse geospatial applications.
This book is designed to serve lower-division undergraduate students and upper-division undergraduate students without any background knowledge in remote sensing, GIS, and related geospatial technologies. However, upper-division undergraduate majors and graduate students may also find it useful as a concise handbook. In addition, it may be an appropriate textbook for various remote sensing workshops, and a reference book for professionals, researchers, and alike in the academics, government, and industries who intend to get a quick update on the developments of remote sensing in recent years.
Advances in Environmental Remote Sensing: Sensors, Algorithms, and Applications Format: HardcoverPublish Date: February 1, 2011 ISBN-10: 1420091751 Publisher: CRC Press, Taylor and Francis Group |
This book provides coverage of cutting-edge sensor systems, algorithms, and techniques. Weng draws on the expertise of pioneers from seventeen countries to systematically examine new developments in environmental remote sensing in this carefully organized book. It includes comprehensive review chapters that examine developments in concepts, methods, techniques, and applications as well as focused chapters that cover the latest developments in hot topic areas completed with one to two case studies.
The book is divided into four parts, beginning with coverage of various sensors, systems, or sensing platforms using different regions of wavelengths and recent advances in algorithms and techniques, specifically in image pre-processing and thematic information extraction. By reviewing key concepts and methods and illustrating practical uses of particular sensors/sensing systems, the book provides important insights into recent developments and trends in remote sensing, and further identifies major existing problems. The book then covers remote sensing of vegetation and related Earth surface
Remote Sensing And GIS Integration - Theories, Methods, and Applications Format: Hardcover Publish Date: November 2009 ISBN-10: 007160653X ISBN-13: 9780071606530 Pages: 350 Publisher: McGraw-Hill Link to the Publisher Site for Detailed Information and Ordering |
Remote Sensing and GIS Integration begins with theoretical discussions, followed by a series of application areas in urban and environmental studies that employ the integration of remote sensing and GIS. Each application area is examined through analysis of state-of-the-art methods and detailed presentations of one or more case studies.
Remote Sensing of Impervious Surfaces Format: Hardcover Publish Date: October 2007 ISBN-10: 1420043749 ISBN-13: 97814200437 Pages: 454 Publisher: CRC Press, Taylor and Francis Group Link to the Publisher Site for Detailed Information and Ordering |
Remote sensing of impervious surfaces has matured using advances in geospatial technology so recent that its applications have received only sporadic coverage in remote sensing literature. Remote Sensing of Impervious Surfaces is the first to focus entirely on this developing field. It provides detailed coverage of mapping, data extraction, and modeling techniques specific to analyzing impervious surfaces, such as roads and buildings.
Written by renowned experts in the field, this book reviews the major approaches that apply to this emerging field as well as current challenges, developments, and trends. The authors introduce remote sensing digital image processing techniques for estimating and mapping impervious surfaces in urban and rural areas. Presenting the latest modeling tools and algorithms for data extraction and analysis, the book explains how to differentiate roads, roofs, and other manmade structures from remotely sensed images for individual analysis.
The final chapters examine how to use impervious surface data for predicting the flow of storm- or floodwater and studying trends in population, land use, resource distribution, and other real-world applications in environmental, urban, and regional planning. Each chapter offers a consistent format including a concise review of basic concepts and methodologies, timely case studies, and guidance for solving problems and analyzing data using the techniques presented.
