Signal Theory Methods in Multispectral Remote Sensing
ISBN: 978-0-471-42028-6
January 2003
528 pages
The field of remote sensing is a cross-disciplinary one, involving professionals ranging from signal processing engineers to earth science researchers to private and public sector practitioners, in nearly every region of the globe. The Signal Theory Approach offers powerful methods for analyzing the complex data involved in this field–methods which may not be familiar to many in non-engineering fields. In contrast to previous broad surveys of the subject, Signal Theory Methods in Multispectral Remote Sensing focuses on the practical knowledge data users of all types must have to optimally analyze multispectral and hyperspectral image data.
Both a textbook and self-teaching reference for professionals in the field, this book covers the fundamentals of the analysis of multispectral and hyperspectral image data from the point of view of signal processing engineering. Avoiding topics common to general treatments of remote sensing but not germane to practical applications, it offers concise discussions of:
As hyperspectral data becomes more widely available, the need for practical ways to analyze the very large volume of hyperspectral data on a personal computer makes this an extremely timely and useful reference for all professionals and researchers involved in remote sensing.
