Remote Sensing and Geospatial Analysis

Bol

This book offers a comprehensive introduction to the concepts, principles, and applications of Remote Sensing technology. It traces the evolution of remote sensing, explains the electromagnetic spectrum, and examines various sensor types and satellite missions. Readers gain a clear understanding of image interpretation techniques, including feature identification, visual analysis, and advanced digital processing such as thematic classification and change detection. The book explores key aspects of sensor resolutions-spatial, spectral, radiometric, temporal, and angular-and the use of both passive and active sensors like Radar and LiDAR. It also reviews major satellite programs such as Landsat, IRS, SPOT, and Terra/Aqua, alongside methods of data acquisition, geometric corrections, color composites, and multitemporal analyses for environmental monitoring. Designed for undergraduate and postgraduate students of remote sensing, geography, and environmental sciences, this text bridges theory and practice through real-world examples, case studies, and exercises that equip readers with practical skills for applied remote sensing projects.
