Beschreibung:
Presenting the fundamentals of remote sensing at an introductory level, this book explores all major aspects of hyperspectral image acquisition, exploitation, interpretation, and applications. It introduces spectral radiometry concepts, covers imaging spectrometers, and addresses atmospheric interactions. The book also discusses information extraction, with chapters covering the underlying physics principles that lead to the creation of an image and the interpretation of the image's information. The final chapters describe case studies that illustrate the use of hyperspectral remote sensing in agriculture, environmental monitoring, forestry, and geology.
