Description
Ortho-rectification in remote sensing is used to correct satellite or aerial image distortions caused by terrain elevation and sensor angle. This book explains the ortho-rectification for different imaging methods such as frame, linear, and video imaging, for different imaged areas such as Greenland without ground features or urban areas with high buildings, for different types of sensors, and for different requirements of processing speed. It starts with the definition of ortho-rectification and takes a step-by-step introduction to the models, the algorithms, the methods, the Digital Orthophoto Map (DOM) quality control, and the USGS DOM Standards.
Features
Focuses on a specific topic which is crucial for applications like land use mapping, urban planning, environmental monitoring, etc.
Clearly explains the theory and the applications through many illustrations and detailed examples.
Addresses ortho-rectification systematically and comprehensively for all levels of readers.
Explains the challenges faced during constructing models, algorithms, and methods for ortho-rectification.
Includes the lessons learned from the author's longstanding research and experience on the topic.
This book is an excellent reference for a complete understanding of ortho-rectification. It's for senior undergraduate students and graduate students in remote sensing, information technology, computer science and engineering, electronic engineering, and geography. As well as researchers, professionals, and those who work in governmental and commercial sectors interested in satellite remote sensing image processing.

Person
Dr. Guoqing Zhou is a professor at the Guilin University of Technology, Guilin, China. He received his first PhD from Wuhan University, Wuhan, China, in 1994 and his second PhD from Virginia Tech at Blacksburg, Virginia, USA, in 2001. He was a visiting scholar at the Department of Computer Science and Technology, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China, and a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute of Information Science, Beijing Jiaotong University, Beijing, China, from 1994-1996. He continued his research as an Alexander von Humboldt Fellow at the Technical University of Berlin, Berlin, Germany, from 1997-1998 and afterward became a postdoctoral researcher at the Ohio State University, Columbus, OH, USA, from 1998 to 2000. Later he worked at Old Dominion University, Norfolk, VA, USA, as an assistant professor, associate professor, and full professor in 2000, 2005, and 2010, respectively. He has authored 14 books and has published more than 326 papers in peer-reviewed journals and 332 papers in conference proceedings.
