John R. Schott, "Fundamentals of Polarimetric Remote Sensing"
2009 | ISBN: 0819475343 | 270 pages | PDF | 12 MB
Polarimetric remote sensing offers the potential to provide a new dimension for observations of the Earth. This book takes a systems approach to the physical processes involved with formation, collection, and analysis of polarimetric remote sensing data in the visible through longwave infrared. The emphasis is on Earth observation at human scales (ground sample distances of fractions of a meter to tens of meters) where the contrast between manmade objects and natural backgrounds are typical subjects of interest.
