The new, completely updated edition of the aerial photography classic Extensively revised to address today's technological advances, Aerial Photography and Image Interpretation, Third Edition offers a thorough survey of the technology, techniques, processes, and methods used to create and interpret aerial photographs. The new edition also covers other forms of remote sensing with topics that include the most current information on orthophotography (including digital), soft copy photogrammetry, digital image capture and interpretation, GPS, GIS, small format aerial photography, statistical analysis and thematic mapping errors, and more. A basic introduction is also given to nonphotographic an...
This is a new release of the original 1960 edition.
Remote Sensing of Forest Environments: Concepts and Case Studies is an edited volume intended to provide readers with a state-of-the-art synopsis of the current methods and applied applications employed in remote sensing the world's forests. The contributing authors have sought to illustrate and deepen our understanding of remote sensing of forests, providing new insights and indicating opportunities that are created when forests and forest practices are considered in concert with the evolving paradigm of remote sensing science. Following background and methods sections, this book introduces a series of case studies that exemplify the ways in which remotely sensed data are operationally used, as an element of the decision-making process, and in the scientific study of forests. Remote Sensing of Forest Environments: Concepts and Case Studies is designed to meet the needs of a professional audience composed of both practitioners and researchers. This book is also suitable as a secondary text for graduate-level students in Forestry, Environmental Science, Geography, Engineering, and Computer Science.
Presents papers from a forum on computer-assisted methods of forest interpretation and parameter extraction from high resolution digital imagery. Data sources of interest include airborne digital frame cameras, multi-spectral imagers, imaging spectrometers, digitized aerial photography, videography, and next-generation high resolution satellite imagery. The focus was on forestry requirements, current capabilities, and future activities. Papers are arranged under the following broad session topics: single tree isolation, regeneration & forest health, species classification, stand structure/crown closure & gaps, computer-assisted interpretation systems, and other applications.
Covers aerial photo interpretation and photo-related topics such as photogrammetry, nonphotographic image interpretation, image formation on black and white and color films, sampling, and the energy flow profile. Deals with the study, interpretation and collection of all kinds of data over large or small geographic regions at many different degrees of intensity.
Deals with conventional methods of human photographic interpretation. Suitable for use a text or reference book.
