Satellite Remote Sensing of Natural Resources
David L. Verbyla
Abstract
Satellite Remote Sensing of Natural Resources offers an introduction to digital remote sensing. This comprehensive text emphasizes the basics, with simple concepts presented in clear, easy-to-understand language. For those who are interested in practical remote sensing but do not have an extensive background in math and statistics, this primer is invaluable. The main topics covered include satellite images, image processing systems, spectral regions, radiometric and geometric corrections, supervised and unsupervised classification, and accuracy assessment. Each chapter concludes with a section of sample problems and list of additional readings.
