Physical Principles of Remote Sensing W. G. Rees is an English-language textbook that covers important physical principles of remote sensing. This book is intended for students and professionals who are seeking a deep understanding of remote sensing systems and techniques.
The third edition has been fully updated and includes new information on photography, laser profiling, and image processing. The book covers a broad spectrum of applications in the earth sciences, environmental research, and planetary research. With a step-by-step approach to quantitative topics, it is accessible to readers with less mathematical background.
With summaries, review questions, and additional assignments, it helps students to apply theoretical knowledge and better understand the possibilities of remote sensing. All of this makes it ideally suited for those who want to practise handling data in these fields.
The content aligns with topics such as geographic information systems, applied optics, and technology in remote sensing and GIS. Thus, this book supports a broad and in-depth introduction to the physical principles of remote sensing.
