Physical fundamentals of remote sensing
Over the past decade, the field of remote sensing has undergone rapid expansion thanks to improvements in the methods and equipment, an increase in its areas of application, as well as a better understanding of its theoretical foundations. These developments have created a need for a text on the fundamentals of the physical relationships necessary to understand the methods and applications of remote sensing in the natural environment. The present volume is based on a course presented by the author for the past 6 years at the University of Bern and the University of Toulouse. It aims to awaken an appreciation of the physical background of remote sensing and to create an awareness of the importance of the interaction between electromagnetic radiation and matter for the optimal use of remote sensing.
