About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
“This book is directed to those involved in monitoring land surfaces using remotely sensed data … . provides a solid reference to the current science and application of the ASTER and MODIS sensors. This book encompasses both the technical aspects and the wide range of applications of both sensors. … provides an excellent reference for the technical specifications and consideration in these sensors. … Those who use ASTER or MODIS imagery for land observations should consider finding room on their bookshelves for this book.” (Anthony L. Nguy-Robertson, Photogrammetric Engineering & Remote Sensing, January, 2012)Editors and Affiliations
