The revised second edition offers an in-depth exploration of global navigation systems (GNSS) and their technologies, highlighting the principles and techniques that underpin these systems. It provides a detailed analysis of all four active GNSS, explaining their operational mechanisms in a clear manner. The organization of the content sets it apart from typical textbooks, making it a unique resource for understanding GNSS advancements.
This book introduces the overall concepts of research methods in Remote Sensing. It also addresses the entire research framework, ranging from ontology to documentation. As such, it covers the theory while providing a solid basis for engaging in concrete research activities. It is not intended as a textbook on remote sensing; rather, it offers guidance to those conducting research by examining philosophical and other issues that are generally not covered by textbooks. Various stages of research are discussed in detail, including illustrative discussions and helpful references. The topics consi.
This book documents research conducted on the analysis of urban growth and sprawl by using remote sensing data and GIS techniques. The research was conducted between 1980-2010 in the city of Kolkata, India. The aim of the research was to use metrics that were less demanding in terms of data and computation than normal metrics. However, it has been found that most of them were inferior in capturing insights of urban sprawl. For this book, some of these metrics have therefore been modified and new ones are proposed. The research focuses on problems associated with the analysis of urban growth by using remote sensing data from a technological perspective.
Title on CD-ROM: Geomatica 10.3. to accompany Remote sensing and GIS.
Focusing on urban growth and sprawl, this book delves into their analysis through remote sensing imagery. It presents diverse research perspectives that illuminate patterns, processes, causes, and impacts of urban expansion. The text emphasizes the application of remote sensing and geographic information systems for effective mapping and monitoring. Additionally, it evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of various methodologies and models, providing a thorough understanding of urban dynamics and potential countermeasures.
