Description :

This book is about applications of remote sensing techniques in the studies on soils in pursuance of the objective the book initially provides an introduction to various elements and concepts of remote sensing and associated technologies namely geographic information system gis global positioning system gps in chapter 1. Remote sensing of soils dwivedi ravi shankar auth this book is about applications of remote sensing techniques in the studies on soils. Active remote sensing is particularly based on two types of sensors synthetic aperture radar sar with high spatial resolution adapted to local and regional studies and scatterometer sensor more adapted to global estimations of soil parameters. Terns landscapes platform has pioneered approaches to spatial and temporal interpolation that will be essential for monitoring systems and methods of model data fusion that will allow the improved use of remote sensing in measuring soil carbon and tracking change
