Remote Sensing And Image Interpretation

by Thomas M. Lillesand, Ralph W. Kiefer

This straightforward introduction to remote sensing provides comprehensive, up-to-date coverage of the subject for students, irrespective of their disciplines of study or the academic department in which remote sensing is taught. All the classical'' elements of aerial photographic interpretation and photogrammetry are described, but equal emphasis is placed on non-photographic sensing systems and the analysis of data from these systems using digital image processing procedures. Includes coverage of image restoration, enhancement, classification, and data merging, and new sensor systems such as the Large Format Camera, solid-state linear arrays, the Shuttle Imaging radar systems, the Landsat Thematic Mapper, the SPOT satellite system, and the NOAA Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer. Also covers imaging spectrometry and lidar systems. Contains extensive illustrations.

While very dry and technical throughout, this is an exhaustive and useful review of nearly every aspect of its subject matter. From aerial to satellite, radar to visual to lidar, and with all manner of analysis and interpretation covered, if you intend to do study of the earth's surface this will tell you all of the methods and tools available (and used in the past, if historical data is in play). The math and specifics can be overwhelming, but they are often supplemental to the main focus of teaching the methods and practises.

Teaches remote sensing fairly well. It does fall flat on some areas as certain topics are implied and some of the order of chapter seems off.
