Book Name : Remote Sensing: Applications" ed. by Boris Escalante-Ramírez
Link : http://filepost.com/files/71am8327/R...ionsITO12.pdf/
Description : This book intends to show the reader how remote sensing impacts other areas of science, technology, and human activity, by displaying a selected number of high quality contributions dealing with different remote sensing applications.

Twenty two chapters have been carefully collected and distributed in four areas.
The first part deals with land cover applications, and contains applications in vegetation indices, crop and pest monitoring, rainfall and fire relationship with vegetation, change detection, soil salinization, modeling water and heat regimes, catastrophe assessment and lava flow mapping.
The second part contains contributions on climate and atmosphere, including carbon and water dynamics, ocean evaporation, and atmospheric aerosols and clouds.
The third part presents oceans and cryosphere applications that include aquatic vegetation, oil spill assessment, coral reef habitat mapping, water source predictability from snow maps, cryosphere study, and maritime search and rescue.
Last but not least, the last part presents contributions dealing with human activity, including population estimation, archaeology, urban growth, ******** and healthcare and military applications.

Description : This dual conception of remote sensing brought us to the idea of preparing two different books; in addition to the first book which displays recent advances in remote sensing applications, this book is devoted to new techniques for data processing, sensors and platforms.

The first part of the book is devoted to new methodologies and techniques fordata processing in remote sensing. The reader will find interesting contributions inforest characterization, data fusion, surface slopes statistical properties, multichanneland Markovian classification, road feature extraction, miscalibration correction,barometric pressure measurements, wireless sensors networks and lineamentvisualization.
The second part of the book gathers chapters related to new sensors andplatforms for remote sensing, including the new COMS satellite, hyperspectral remotesensing, mobile LIDAR for atmospheric remote sensing, SNR improvements inLIDAR, a smart station for data reception, terahertz radiation propagation, HF datatransmission for very remote sensing, hardware image compression, wirelesscommunications for underground sensors, and cold gas propulsion for remote sensingsatellites.
