Signal Theory Methods in Multispectral Remote Sensing

An outgrowth of the author's extensive experience teaching senior and graduate level students, this is both a thorough introduction and a solid professional reference.
* Material covered has been developed based on a 35-year research program associated with such systems as the Landsat satellite program and later satellite and aircraft programs.
* Covers existing aircraft and satellite programs and several future programs
