Download or read book Civil, Commercial, and International Remote Sensing Systems and Geoprocessing written by David L. Glackin and published by AIAA. This book was released on 1999 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Remote sensing and geospatial data processing are rapidly evolving and increasingly important fields with widespread applications. In this monograph, Glackin and Peltzer trace the evolution of remote sensing satellites and their instruments and geospatial data processing, document the state of the art, and present key trends emerging for the next decade. The authors emphasize the increasing commercialization and international expansion of the field, particularly in the field of imaging satellites and the use of geographic information systems to make remote sensing data more accessible.
