Hyperspectral Remote Sensing (2^nd Ed.) Principles and Applications, Second Edition Remote Sensing Applications Series

Building on the success of the first edition's good material for teaching hyperspectral remote sensing fundamentals to students and young practitioners, this larger edition contains advanced information for professionals. It goes beyond theory and provides the reader with the tools necessary to collect, pre-process and analyze hyperspectral field data to support an airborne/spaceborne hyperspectral overflight. It gives the reader insights into the instrumental functions of a generic spectrometer and provides a method to quantify the accuracy of hyperspectral data products.

History and Description of Hyperspectral Imaging. Spectral Radiometry. Components of Hyperspectral Instruments (New). Field Spectroscopy (New). Airborne and Spaceborne Hyperspectral Sensors. Accuracy Assessment of Hyperspectral Data Products (New). Hyperspectral Remote Sensing and the Atmosphere (New). Hyperspectral Data Processing. Hyperspectral Data Information Extraction.
