"Spectral images, especially those from satellites such as Landsat, are used worldwide for many purposes, ranging from monitoring environmental changes and evaluating natural resources to military operations. In a significant departure from standard remote-sensing texts, this book describes how to process and interpret spectral images using physical models to bridge the gap between the engineering and theoretical sides of remote sensing and the world that we encounter when we put on our boots and venture outdoors."--Jacket.
