Features: This book is a comprehensive and systematic theoretical work on the principles and analytical methods of remote sensing. The entire book consists of 15 chapters, divided into three main parts. Part 1: Chapters 1 to 2 cover the fundamentals of remote sensing. They focus on elaborating the basic theories, physical concepts, acquisition, transmission mechanisms, imaging principles, and characteristics of various remote sensing data sources. Additionally, they introduce the features and research progress of visible-infrared, thermal infrared, and microwave remote sensing, respectively. Part 2: Chapters 6 to 10 focus on remote sensing analytical methods. They primarily discuss remote sensing image interpretation, digital image processing, comprehensive remote sensing analysis methods, data fusion, and geographic information systems. Emphasis is placed on introducing quantitative analysis methods and models in remote sensing. Part 3: Chapters 11 to 15 cover remote sensing thematic applications. This section combines theory, methods, and case studies, selecting typical domestic and international examples to summarize aspects such as land, vegetation, water bodies and oceans, surface energy balance and soil moisture, and geology, reflecting the broad application prospects of remote sensing information science. The book is rich in content, with a foundation in basic knowledge, cutting-edge research, and broad applicability. It can serve as a graduate textbook for students in geoscience, environmental science, spatial information, and other Earth system science fields, as well as a reference book for faculty and students at universities and remote sensing professionals across various disciplines.
