The fourth edition of this core textbook in advanced remote sensing continues to be the best guide on satellite-based remote sensing tools and methods for space-based Earth observation, and the use of remote sensing satellite data for studying and monitoring the planet. It is thoroughly updated with information related to new satellite missions from different agencies with particular attention to the new constellations of high-resolution sensors and new field observations for model calibration and validation, including field sensors and drones. The commercialization of remote sensing data with open cloud services and new classifications by AI algorithms and cloud computing services are also discussed.
New in the Fourth Edition:
Thoroughly revised to include updates in all chapters due to the technological advances in space exploration.
Covers new constellations of high-resolution sensors such as Planet, Maxar, Geo-Airbus, etc.
Explains field sensors such as spectro-radiometers, ground lidars, and drones.
Discusses image services including Earthengine and CreoDIAS, as well as public repositories: Copernicus, Earthexplorer, Glovis.
Provides an introduction to AI algorithms.
