Remote Sensing and Image Interpretation

by Thomas M. Lillesand

From recent developments in digital image processing to the next generation of satellite systems, this book provides a comprehensive introduction to the field of remote sensing and image interpretation. This book is discipline neutral, so readers in any field of study can gain a clear understanding of these systems and their virtually unlimited applications. The authors underscore close interactions among the related areas of remote sensing, GIS, GPS, digital image processing, and environmental modeling. Appendices include material on sources of remote sensing data and information, remote sensing periodicals, online glossaries, and online tutorials.

[Kevin · Rating 4 out of 5]

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.
