Remote Sensing and GIS
(Publisher: Oxford University Press)
by Basudeb Bhatta

The book is a treasure for the Geo-Informatics students both beginners and advanced learners, as well as teachers due to its rich content, explained in very simple language. Content wise the book is precise and extensive and technically detailed. The well-organized transition from one topic to another is smooth.

The book has rich content including the history and basic concept of RS and GIS. It has made an exhaustive coverage of Optical Remote Sensing,  Thermal and Microwave Remote Sensing, GPS, Digital Photogrammetry, Visual Image Analysis, Digital Image Processing, Spatial and attribute data model, Geospatial analysis and planning, implementation and management of GIS.
The book meets the requirements of the curriculum of the UG and PG level courses of Indian universities and colleges.  The book is must on the shelves of the Geoinformatics students.

Remote Sensing Process A. Energy Source or Illumination – the first requirement is to have an energy source which illuminates or provides electromagnetic energy to the target of interest. B. Radiation and the Atmosphere – as the energy travels from its source to the target, it will come in contact with and interact with the atmosphere it passes through. This interaction may take place a second time as the energy travels from the target to the sensor. C. Interaction with the Target – once the energy makes its way to the target through the atmosphere, it interacts with the target depending on the properties of both the target and the radiation. D. Recording of Energy by the Sensor – after the energy has been scattered by, or emitted from the target, we require a sensor to collect and record the EMR. E. Transmission, Reception, Processing – the energy recorded by the sensor has to be transmitted, often in electronic form, to receiving and processing station where the data a...
