Description

"Featuring contributors from 17 countries, this book systematically presents recent advances in environmental remote sensing. First, the text provides the latest developments in remote sensing data and sensor systems, paying special attention to LIDAR, high spatial-resolution sensing, hyperspectral sensing, and data fusion of various sensors. Next, authors examine cutting-edge algorithms and techniques for the detection, interpretation, characterization, and modeling of Earth surface features. The final section explores applications of current data, sensors, algorithms, and techniques to the remote sensing of land, vegetation, water, and air."--Provided by publisher."1. Aims and Scope The main purpose of compiling such a book is to provide an authoritative supplementary text for upper division undergraduate and graduate students, who may have chosen a text book from a variety of choice in the market. This book collects two types of articles: (1) comprehensive review articles from leading authorities to examine the developments in concepts, methods, techniques, and applications in a sub-field of environmental remote sensing; and (2) focused review articles in respect of the latest developments in a hot topic area with one to two concise case studies. Because of the nature of articles collected, this book can also serve as a good reference book for researchers, scientists, engineers, and policy-makers who wish to keep up with new developments in environmental remote sensing"--Provided by publisher.  Read more...

Professional Linux kernel architecture ''Wrox programmer to programmer''--Cover. - ''What you are reading right now is the result of an evolution over more than seven years: After two years of writing, the first edition was published in German by Carl Hanser Verlag in 2003. It then described kernel 2.6.0. The test was used as a basis for the low-level design documentation for the EAL4+ security evaluation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, requiring to update it to kernel 2.6.18 (if the EAL acronym does not mean anything to you, then Wikipedia is once more your friend). Hewlett-Packard sponsored the translation into English and has, thankfully, granted the rights to publish the result. Updates to kernel 2.6.24 were then performed specifically for this book''--P. ix
