Description:
Dedicated to remote sensing images, from their acquisition to their
use in various applications, this book covers the global lifecycle
of images, including sensors and acquisition systems, applications
such as movement monitoring or data assimilation, and image and
data processing.
It is organized in three main parts. The first part presents
technological information about remote sensing (choice of satellite
orbit and sensors) and elements of physics related to sensing
(optics and microwave propagation). The second part presents image
processing algorithms and their specificities for radar or optical,
multi and hyper-spectral images. The final part is devoted to
applications: change detection and analysis of time series,
elevation measurement, displacement measurement and data
assimilation.
Offering a comprehensive survey of the domain of remote sensing
imagery with a multi-disciplinary approach, this book is suitable
for graduate students and engineers, with backgrounds either in
computer science and applied math (signal and image processing) or
geo-physics.
