Features: This book comprehensively and systematically discusses the theoretical foundations and research methods, as well as application cases of remote sensing monitoring and evaluation of land resources. It conducts research on the land use/land cover classification system, the land degradation monitoring and evaluation index system, and the land resource sustainable utilization evaluation index system. It delves into the information extraction methods for the quantity and quality of land resources based on different remote sensing data (including Hyperion, OMIS-I hyperspectral remote sensing data, and MODIS, TM/ETM+, SPOT, etc., multispectral remote sensing data). The monitoring and evaluation indicators are applied to planning and policy-making. Copyright ? Beijing Biao Huan Technology Books Co., Ltd. All rights reserved.
