Remote Sensing

Remote Sensing for earth observation and the various mechanisms involved in the process of information acquisition, storage, and distribution have become a necessity for the implementation of the sustainable development process in today's world. Everything from communication and military surveillance to oceanography and terrain mapping is dependent on the data from aerial sources and the functionalities provided by the satellites. This book aims to provide a basic yet thorough understanding of the process of remote sensing in terms of visual information generation. The chapters of this book are so aligned that it takes the reader through the whole process of image development, both historical and future, and provide a comprehensive description of the image generation process both digital and analog.The authors of this book, hope to be able to provide a platform for newer entrants into the field of remote sensing or image sensing such that they can utilize their existing knowledge base to progress into the specifics of this field of study.
