About this title

Synopsis

Designed for an introductory course in remote sensing, this highly regarded text offers 28 pages with color photos, Sabins' trademark clarity, and comprehensive coverage. The first chapter vividly introduces the major remote sensing systems and the interactions between electromagnetic energy and materials that are the basis for remote sensing. Six following chapters describe the major imaging systems. After a digital image-processing chapter, Sabins devotes the rest of the text to descriptions of practical applications of remote sensing to environmental monitoring, oil and mineral exploration, land-use and geographic information systems, and natural hazards. Includes end-of-chapter questions, glossary, and appendix.
