Features: "Remote Sensing Physics" is a foundational course offered by the Institute of Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems at Peking University for master's students. This book is written based on the author's years of teaching experience in this course, with the goal of elucidating the physical principles in remote sensing quantitative analysis. The main content includes handling the reflection and scattering of non-Lambertian bodies, the directional problem of thermal radiation from three-dimensional non-isothermal mixed pixels, as well as atmospheric effects and their correction. It is divided into six chapters:
Chapter 1: Basic physical concepts involved in remote sensing quantitative analysis;
Chapter 2: Quantitative analysis methods in vegetation remote sensing, including geometric optical models, radiative transfer models, and Monte Carlo simulation models, as well as vegetation indices and differential vegetation indices;
Chapter 3: Mainly discusses soil and ice remote sensing models;
Chapter 4: Focuses on the principles and main applications of sea color remote sensing;
Chapter 5: Mainly discusses atmospheric effects and their correction methods;
Chapter 6: Thermal infrared remote sensing, mainly including issues such as the remote sensing inversion of sea surface temperature and land surface temperature.
This book is suitable for teaching use by graduate students with a focus on remote sensing applications and can also serve as a reference for remote sensing application professionals.
