Our Changing Planet
The View from Space Our world is in a constant state of change, and there is strong evidence - much of it derived from satellite images of the Earth - that human activities are causing changes to the atmosphere, oceans and land surface of our home planet. Since their launch in the 1960s, satellites have been ...

Object-Based Image Analysis and Treaty Verification
The availability of new high resolution satellite data brings with it the need for new image analysis methods. Traditional pixel-oriented algorithms do not give credit to the spatial coherence of high resolution imagery. In particular, for detection and classification of man-made structures, object-based ...

Signal and Image Processing for Remote Sensing
Most data from satellites are in image form, thus most books in the remote sensing field deal exclusively with image processing. However, signal processing can contribute significantly in extracting information from the remotely sensed waveforms or time series data. Pioneering the combination of the two ...

Environmental Change in Siberia
This book covers a round-up of environmental changes in Siberia with a focus on the terrestrial biosphere but also discussing climate and atmosphere and the hydrological cycle. It concludes with a discussion of information system approaches that are being developed to safeguard and make accessible spatial and temporal data for environmental studies. Siberia is undergoing rapid transformations as ...
-
Remote Sensing in Snow Hydrology
Initially, the role of snow and ice in the global water balance is assessed and methods of snow measurements are explained. Remote sensing is dealt with with regard to periodical snow cover mapping. Last advances and refinements refer to spatial resolution, cloud interference and separate monitoring of ...
