Richards J.A., Jia X. Remote Sensing Digital Image Analysis: An Introduction

4th Edition. — Springer, 2005. — xxv, 439 р. — ISBN 978-3-540-25128-6.The book provides the non-specialist with an introduction to quantitative evaluation of satellite and aircraft derived from remotely retrieved data. Each chapter covers the pros and cons of digital remotely sensed data, without detailed mathematical treatment of computer based algorithms, but in a manner conductive to an understanding of their capabilities and limitations. Problems conclude each chapter.Sources and Characteristics of Remote Sensing Image Data.
