Remote Sensing

This book explores the world of remote sensing technology, offering comprehensive insights into its principles, data acquisition methods, advanced processing techniques, and diverse applications. It covers the basics of remote sensing such as the foundational principles and data acquisition techniques, image pre-processing, such as noise removal, radiometric corrections, and image fusion, and advanced classification techniques like machine learning algorithms including neural networks and support vector machines. Finally, it discusses disaster management and agriculture, demonstrating how remote sensing methods are revolutionizing fields such as disaster response and agricultural monitoring. Professionals, researchers, and students involved in environmental sciences, geography, urban planning, and disaster management will benefit from these topics.

P. K. Garg holds a PhD in remote sensing (University of Bristol) and is a professor of civil engineering, specializing in geomatics engineering. He is a member of the advisory committee of CSSTEAP (Centre for Space Science
and Technology Education in Asia and the Pacific).
