The newly published, three-volume Remote Sensing Handbook includes remote-sensing topics written by more than 300 leading global experts. With 82 chapters and more than 2,000 pages, the technical handbook includes up-to-date examples of successful projects and case studies, and explains in detail about space-borne, airborne and ground-based remote-sensing systems.
USGS' Prasad S. Thenkabail, an international expert in remote sensing and GIS as well as editor of the handbook, describes it as a complete knowledge base about the evolution and history of remote-sensing science over last 50 years, the current state-of-the-art of its science and technology, and a future vision for the field.
