Environmental Applications of Remote Sensing

Description

ITexLi (ExLi4EvA), 2016. – 405 p. – ISBN: 9535124447; 9535124439This book contains high quality and compressive work on both microwave and optical remote sensing applications, and the innovation in space technologies creates a new trend for the Earth observation and monitoring from space. The book is divided into five sections: - remote sensing for biomass estimation, - remote sensing-based glacier studies, - remote sensing for coastal and ocean applications, - sewage leaks and environment disasters, and - remote sensing image processing. Each chapter offers an opportunity to expand the knowledge about various remote sensing techniques and persuade researchers to deliver new research novelty for environment studies.
