Murphy & Moore Publishing Murphy & Moore - Remote Sensing: Data Analysis and Image Processing

Master the fundamentals of gathering information about objects and phenomena without physical contact. This book provides a clear look into the world of remote sensing, covering the essential characteristics that define the field: spatial, temporal, spectral, and radiometric resolution. Readers will learn to distinguish between the two primary methods used in the industry. The text explains active remote sensing, which involves the reflection of signals emitted by a satellite, and passive remote sensing, which relies on the reflection of sunlight identified by a sensor. By understanding these core concepts, students and professionals can better apply remote sensing techniques to various practical disciplines. This resource is designed to support learning in specialized areas such as land surveying and ecology, making it a valuable addition to any scientific or higher education library.
