Hyperspectral Remote Sensing

Great text, definitely worth the read for anyone interested in the field. Provides a comprehensive structure and treatment. A touch heavy on the maths for a HRS overview, but nonetheless necessary I guess.

This is an excellent graduate level text and one of the few that is actually based upon the underlying physics of how light interacts with matter. Many other remote sensing texts are based mostly upon a specific application of remote sensing with a bit of physics sprinkled in when needed. The flow of the material presented is quite natural; beginning with classical E&M radiation, transitioning to fundamental quantum mechanics as applied to atmospheric spectroscopy, and concluding with optical design and data modeling techniques. No other remote sensing book I have read hits all the fundamentals in such a succinct manner. Be warned, this book does not cover special topics in remote sensing such as geological, environmental, or atmospheric specific techniques. This book discusses the fundamentals of remote sensing targeted for first year graduate students. A must read!

Wer den jetzigen Stand der Technik kennenlernen möchte, hat das richte Buch gefunden. Die allerneusten Sachen wie snapshot-imaging-spectroscopy wird noch nicht so ausführlich diskutiert, das schadet aber nichts.
