Description
For one-semester courses in Introductory Remote Sensing as well as Introductory Airphoto Interpretation.
This widely adopted book introduces the fundamentals of remote sensing from an earth resource (versus engineering) perspective. Emphasis is on turning remote sensing data into useful spatial biophysical or socio-economic information that can be used to make decisions.
