Description
Remote Sensing and GIS Integration begins with theoretical discussions, followed by a series of application areas in urban and environmental studies that employ the integration of remote sensing and GIS. Each application area is examined through analysis of state-of-the-art methods and detailed presentations of one or more case studies. Dr. Qihao Weng is an associate professor in the Department of Geography, Geology, and Anthropology at Indiana State University. He is a national director of the American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS). Chapter 1. Principles of Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems (GIS);Chapter 2.
