Remote sensing tools for exploration: observing and interpreting the electromagnetic spectrum

This is a comprehensive book on remote sensing, covering the entire spectrum of energies, wave and particle interactions and field generation, spectrum andimage production, from magnetosphere to surface, from high energy gamma-rays to low energy sonic waves, for the Earth and planets. Software and hardware tools specific to each spectral region for capturing, analyzing, and combining data will also be discussed. This book reviews and creates a basis for those experts in one energy region or one system to gain insight in understanding and combining data from other regions and systems (data fusion). This book reviewsand creates the basis for those experts in one energy region or one system togain insight in understanding and combining data from other regions and systems The book is clearly organized by spectral region, with discussion of production mechanism, instrumentation, analytical methods, and data interpretation Written in an accessible for engineers and scientists in a wide range of fields INDICE: Preface.- Chapter 1: An Overview.- Chapter 2: Principles of RemoteSensing.- Chapter 3: Visible and Circumvisible Region and Image Interpretation.- Chapter 4: The Ray Region: Ultraviolet, X-rays, ?-rays, ? - Particles, Neutrons.- Chapter 5: The Longwave Region: Mid to Thermal Infrared, Microwave, Radio.- Chapter 6: Processing Information and Data.- Afterward: Data Fusion.- Index
