9789810216481: Electromagnetic Scattering Modelling For Quantitative Remote Sensing

Sinopsis

Advances during the last two decades in radio electronics, space science and computers have turned remote sensing technology into one of the most effective tools for global exploration and environmental monitoring. This book is a comprehensive account of the theoretical models and techniques required for a full interpretation of the rich images and data that remote sensing can provide. Starting with the basics of vector radiative transfer and scattering theory, the book goes on to develop quantitative methods involving most comprehensive models of discrete scatters, continuous random media and randomly rough surfaces. References are constantly made to real-world parameters and models involved in the probing of different types of geographical terrain. The book is intended as an introductory graduate text and a research reference. It assumes a reasonable foundation in electromagnetism and common techniques in mathematical physics.

Reseña del editor

This text starts with the basic principles of electromagnetic scattering, thermal emission and transmission in discrete scatters and continous random media. It discusses some of the most comprehensive approaches of the vector radiative transfer theory, wave analytic theory in random media, numerical models and applications in both active and passive remote sensing of the atmosphere and earth terrain surface, such as vegetation canopy, snow and ocean. The text contains the author's research work on quantitative modelling for remote sensing, as well as some advances made by other colleagues. It aims to provide readers with an overall set of the basic theories and equations, models, numerical approaches and applications. Graduate students and researchers should find this work useful either as a textbook or reference book.
