Introduction to Satellite Remote Sensing: Atmosphere, Ocean and Land Applications is the first reference book to cover ocean applications, atmospheric applications, and land applications of remote sensing.

Applications of remote sensing data are finding increasing application in fields as diverse as wildlife ecology and coastal recreation management. The technology engages electromagnetic sensors to measure and monitor changes in the earth's surface and atmosphere.

The book opens with an introduction to the history of remote sensing, starting from when the phrase was...

The second edition of this book covers new topics that satisfy a growing need in the GIS, professional surveyor, machine control, and Big Data communities while continuing to embrace the earth center earth fixed coordinate system as the fundamental point of origin of one-dimensional, two-dimensional, and three-dimensional data sets. This edition also provides guidance and insight for continuing to link to the data collected and stored in older coordinate systems.

A summary of the results achieved in the geological-structural mapping, by potential fields and airborne gamma spectrometry data, of the units of igneous and metamorphic rocks in the western regions (Havana-Matanzas), central (Cienfuegos, Villa Clara-Sancti Spiritus) and central-eastern (Camaguey-Las Tunas-Holguin) of Cuba is presented. In addition, the structural- tectonic regionalization with hydrocarbon exploration purposes, focusing mapping of possible new oil-gas targets in the regions of Land Blocks 9, 23 and 17-18 are detailed in this volume. In certain case study locations...

Globally, a wide variety of organizations rely on ERDAS IMAGINE(R) daily, including local, state and national mapping agencies, transportation departments, defense organizations, engineering and utility companies and many more. ERDAS IMAGINE(R) is a powerful software package used to collect, process, analyze and understand raw geospatial data, it has become the industry standard in digital image processing. This book provides the first comprehensive guide to develop a proficiency in digital image processing of remotely sensed data from a research/real-world application perspective, along...

Land degradation is caused by multiple forces, including extreme weather conditions particularly drought, and human activities that pollute or degrade the quality of soils and land utility negatively affecting food production, livelihoods, and the production and provision of other ecosystem goods and services. This book introduces the basic concepts of GIS and remote sensing and explores the basic aspects of land degradation. It covers mostly the physical and physic-chemical processes of soil loss. It combines different methods and approaches for land degradation monitoring and assessment...

The UAV Pilot Logbook 2nd Edition permits you to log your personal flight data in an easy-to-use, easy-to-carry format. This new edition expands significantly upon the earlier UAV Pilot Logbook (1st edition) by providing you with the opportunity to record more types of data for each flight, resulting in a truly comprehensive record of your UAV flying experience. For those who wish to create an aircraft-specific record of use and condition we continue to recommend our companion volume, the UAV Aircraft Logbook, also available through Amazon.

In the UAV Pilot Logbook 2nd Edition you...

This book reviews trends and changes in the exploitation of large amount of Earth Observation data, which happens in a collaborative, cross-disciplinary, and open way, from science to applications, innovation and education. Open Science and Innovation refers to the systematic changes in doing Research, Innovation and Applications driven by the rapid advances in digital technologies combined with a growing demand to do Science for Society and in Society. Teams of researchers around the world can now easily access a wide range of open data across disciplines and remotely...
