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.

Sources of Electromagnetic Energy There are three main sources of  electromagnetic radiation that are used in  remote sensing:  Solar radiation (natural radiation from the  sun)  Terrestrial radiation (natural radiation  emitted by Earth's surface)  Artificial radiation (from a remote sensing  system) Solar Radiation The Sun yields a continuous spectrum of EM  energy. This Incident radiation can be reflected  from the Earth's surface. This process produces a large amount of  short wavelength energy (from 0.4 - 0.7 µm;  blue, green, and red light). It can also be emitted by the Earth's  surface. Such emitted radiation is typically  of a longer wavelength, in the middle and  far infra-red wavelengths. Interacts with the atmosphere and surface  materials (reflect, absorb).  Since the Sun has a much higher temperature  (6000 degrees K) than the Earth (303 degrees  K), so t...
