Author: NASA (ROBERT N. COLWELL)
Title: Monitoring Earth Resources from Aircraft and Spacecraft
Description: Washington DC: NASA, 1971. 1st Edition; 1st Printing. Hardcover. Ex-Library. B&W and Color Illustrations; This book is in Very Good condition and was issued without a dust jacket. This copy has been removed from the NASA Ames Research Library. The spine ends and corners of the book covers have some light rubbing. The text pages are clean and bright. There are library markings on the front and rear endpapers and title page. There is a library sticker on the spine of the book. "Over the last ten years, scientific advances in remote sensing have produced a number of techniques that can retrieve information for various management areas ranging from strategic to operational forestry. Emerging systems such as Radar, LiDAR or the different optical sensors compliment the traditional use of aerial photography. The advantages of these methods are rapid data acquisitions, easy integration to GIS datasets, automated data processing and large area sampling. Commercially available sensors can cover large areas in a fraction of the time required by field workers. In addition, they offer a sampling intensity that approaches full coverage as opposed to current selective or targeted sampling by using field plots. The data are acquired in digital form and so information can be processed by a computer and integrated with other datasets in a GIS. Additionally, data may be processed in an automated fashion, minimising subjectivity in the interpretation of the images. ". Very Good .
