Civil, Commercial, and International Remote Sensing Systems and Geoprocessing

Remote sensing and geospatial data processing are rapidly evolving and increasingly important fields with widespread applications. In this monograph Glackin and Peltzer trace the evolution of remote sensing geospatial data processing, document the state of the art, and key trends emerging for the first decade of the 21st century. The authors emphasize the commercialization and international expansion of the field particularly in the field of imaging satellites and the use of geographic information systems to make remote sensing data more accessible...
