Physical Principles of Remote Sensing 3rd Edition

Really likely new

Very difficult to follow for the course I'm taking (entry level remote sensing). Too many formulas/equations and too little useful discussions to explain the principles.

Excellent on the theoretical aspect.

This is one of the least interesting or readable books I've worked with in Remote sensing or EE. It just goes through equation derivations, without actually explaining the 'Principles' (as suggested in the title). The whole point of writing a book is to convey information, this is just a mishmash of equations that you can get off wikipedia.

Thorough and useful reference to principles of remote sensing of Earth; I found the image processing chapter especially good in its concise definition and examples of types of processing and the basics of how they work. Throughout the book the language is very academic, formal and stilted so not as easy to read as it might be. Color plates are relegated to a center section, even though lots of the in-chapter image captions refer to color that is not visible. Earth focus means that some topics of interest to planetary scientists are not covered; for that it's good to pair with Michael Shepard's Introduction to Planetary Photometry.

The book gives an overview of all the physics phenomena concerning remote sensing. I love it, that's what I was looking for

This book is absolutely fantastic!The author opened the most of the secrets of physical principles of remote sensing using the easy-to-read language and the well-organised structure.The book will be extremely helpful for the students who love remote sensing, but are not so professional in Physics.

The same as describtion.And shippling is fast. A very useful book on remote sensing. Buying it is definitely a wise choise.
