Nicolas Baghdadi - Land Surface Remote Sensing in Urban and Coastal Areas download DOC, PDF
9780081017678 English 0081017677 For a long time, the dynamics of urban and coastal areas have been the focus of administrators and decision makers in charge of public policy in order to better take into account anthropogenic pressure and the impact of climate change. This volume presents applications of remote sensing in urban environments and coastal zones, including the use of remote sensing in city planning (urban expansion, light pollution, air quality, etc.), observation of the properties of ocean color, the study of coastal dynamics (identifying coastlines and estimating sediment balances, etc.) and analysis of the dynamics of mangroves. This book, part of a set of six volumes, has been produced by scientists who are internationally renowned in their fields. It is addressed to students (engineers, Masters, PhD), engineers and scientists, specialists in remote sensing applied to the coastal environment and urban areas. Through this pedagogical work, the authors contribute to breaking down the barriers that hinder the use of Earth observation data. Clear-and-concise descriptions of modern methods of remote sensing for a variety of applications Explores the most current remote sensing techniques, with physical aspects of their measurement (theory) Presents physical principles, measurement, and data processing chapters that are provided for each technique described, In the last ten years, spacial observation of the Earth, and particularly of continental surfaces, have expanded considerably with the launch of increasing numbers of satellites covering various applications (hydrology, biosphere, flow of surface, snow, ice, landslide, floods). This has paved the way for an explosion in the use of teledection data. This book brings essential coverage of the space techniques of observation on continental surfaces. The authors explore major applications and provide a detailed chapter for the physical principles, physics of measurement and data processing for each technique, bringing you up-to-date descriptions of techniques used by leading scientists in the field of remote sensing and Earth observation. This volume highlights many urban applications with a chapter on the use of remote sensing in urban planning. The authors analyze urban scenes with a mobile mapping vehicle and object recognition. The following chapter discusses the use of remote sensing in urban and suburban areas in the territorial decision process. A second part of this book begins with a chapter on the use of remote sensing for color application of water. The second chapter discusses the physical parameters achievable lidar in coastal and inland waters with particularly bathymetry and altimetry as well as the characterization of the water column properties. The last chapter deals in particular with the color of the water. The third chapter concerns the coastal applications with the use of increasingly frequent lidar technique for the study of coastal dynamics in particular with the identification of the coastline and the estimation of sediment budgets. The third part consists of two chapters analyze the dynamics of mangroves, one of the most fragile forests on earth. Clear and concise descriptions of modern methods Explores the most current remote sensing techniques with physical aspects of the measurement (theory) and their applications Physical principles, measurement and data processing chapters are provided for each technique described, Land Surface Remote Sensing in Urban and Coastal Areas brings essential coverage of the space techniques of observation on continental surfaces. The authors explore major applications and provide a detailed chapter on the physical principles, physics of measurement, and data processing for each technique, bringing readers up-to-date descriptions of techniques used by leading scientists in the field of remote sensing and Earth observation.
