eBook 정보

This volume addresses the physical foundation of remote sensing. The basic grounds are presented in close association with the kinds of environmental targets to monitor and with the observing techniques. The book aims at plugging the quite large gap between the thorough and quantitative description of electromagnetic waves interacting with the Earth's environment and the user applications of Earth observation. It is intended for scientifically literate students and professionals who plan to gain a first understanding of remote sensing data and of their information content.

Domenico Solimini has obtained the tenure as assistant professor at the University of Rome, Italy, since 1966, and as full professor since 1980. In 1981 he moved to the newly established Tor Vergata University, Rome,Italy, where he acted as dean of Engineering curricula faculties, department director, and PhD coordinator. His teaching has concerned electromagnetic fields, antennas, propagation, and remote sensing. He received the 2005 IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society Education Award. His research mainly concerns passive and active remote sensing of both Earth's atmosphere and solid land surface, also within several international projects. He has authored and co-authored a few hundred publications. He is a co-founder of GEO-K, a geoinformation company spin-off of Tor Vergata University.
