The Sage handbook of remote sensing / / edited by Timothy A. Warner, M. Duane Nellis, Giles M. Foody.
Developments in remote sensing technology have greatly extended the range of data available to those studying the Earth from a distance. A remote sensing analyst can now choose from a wide range of spatial, spectral, temporal and radiometric scales to address a particular question.
