High spatial resolution remote sensing: Data, Analysis, and Applications
Yuhong He, Qihao WengTo effectively utilize information contained in high spatial resolution imagery, High Spatial Resolution Remote Sensing: Data, Analysis, and Applications addresses some key questions:
What are the challenges of using new sensors and new platforms?
What are the cutting-edge methods for fine-level information extraction from high spatial resolution images?
How can high spatial resolution data improve the quantification and characterization of physical-environmental or human patterns and processes?
The answers are built in three separate parts: (1) data acquisition and preprocessing, (2) algorithms and techniques, and (3) case studies and applications. They discuss the opportunities and challenges of using new sensors and platforms and high spatial resolution remote sensing data and recent developments with a focus on UAVs. This work addresses the issues related to high spatial image processing and introduces cutting-edge methods, summarizes state-of-the-art high spatial resolution applications, and demonstrates how high spatial resolution remote sensing can support the extraction of detailed information needed in different systems.
