About the Book

Advanced Remote Sensing is an application-based reference that provides a single source of mathematical concepts necessary for remote sensing data gathering and assimilation. It presents state-of-the-art techniques for estimating land surface variables from a variety of data types, including optical sensors such as RADAR and LIDAR. Scientists in a number of different fields including geography, geology, atmospheric science, environmental science, planetary science and ecology will have access to critically-important data extraction techniques and their virtually unlimited applications. While rigorous enough for the most experienced of scientists, the techniques are well designed and integrated, making the book’s content intuitive, clearly presented, and practical in its implementation.

About the Author :
Dr. Liang received his Ph.D. from Boston University in 1993. He is a Chair Professor in the Department of Geography at the University of Hong Kong. He has published over 490 SCI journal papers, 43 book chapters, and ten special issues of various journals. He has authored/edited eight books, five of which have been translated into Chinese. Dr. Liang is a Fellow of the IEEE and AAAS, and a Global STEM Professor. He serves as an Editor-in-Chief of the Science of Remote Sensing journal. Dr. Liang led the development of the Global LAnd Surface Satellite (GLASS) products, freely available at awww.glass.hku.hk and www.geodata.cn. He is also leading to develop the high-resolution (30 m) version of GLASS (Hi-GLASS) products. His Google Scholar H-index is 107, with over 46,000 citations. Clarivate recognizes him as a Highly Cited Researcher, placing him among the top 0.1% of scientists globally. Prof. Wang graduated from Beijing University of Postal and Telecommunications, and received the B.S degree in Electronic Engineering in 1982. She is currently professor of the Research Center for Remote Sensing and GIS of Beijing Normal University. Prof. Wang hosted a number of research projects on remote sensing modeling and validation, land surface parameters retrieval, typical land object’s spectrum database establishment, dynamic feature analysis and modeling of remote sensing information, supported by the National Basic Research Program of China, the National High Technology Research and Development Program of China, the National Natural Science Foundation of China.

Review :
"The treatment here is highly quantitative and rigorously technical, but also accessible to students at the upper undergraduate and first-year graduate levels."--Reference and Research Book News, December 2012
