About this book

This book highlights the fundamentals, technologies, and methods of space optical remote sensing and system design. The author introduces concepts and methods established during his decades of research and practice, covering topics such as difference between the spatial resolution of pixel and the resolution of traditional film, the resolution of remote sensing image for characteristics and target recognition purpose, and image shift problem of sampling image space. The book comprehensively and systematically introduces the basic concepts, theories, parameter design calculations of imaging cameras, multispectral cameras, surveying cameras, infrared cameras, and imaging spectrometers, their respective system components, and performance evaluation of space optical remote sensing systems. The book also discusses the overall design of space optical remote sensing systems, including light sources, the ground-air system, target characteristics, spectrum selection, energy calculation, orbital parameters, optical remote sensor parameters, spacecraft parameters coordination and selection, comprehensive analysis, and large-scale system performance evaluation methods, forming a complete idea on how to achieve the goals of the system design. The book enables readers to understand the working principles of the whole systems from a theoretical depth and grasp the full skillset on how to implement advantages and balance technical difficulties for orbit, subsystems of the platform, and payloads. The book is a must-read for those who seek to build strong ability for research, development, and innovation surrounding the subject matter.

About the author

Jiasheng Tao is currently Professor at China Academy of Space Technology. His research focuses on space optical remote sensing. As one of the technical leaders, he has participated in the research and development of China's first-generation manned space surveillance camera, the performance evaluation and the optical machine structure design of the the wide field camera, the geostationary orbit optical remote sensing satellite, and the geostationary orbit high-resolution optical remote sensing satellite. He has also engaged in national projects of the development of the stereo mapping camera, the high-resolution camera, the GEO hyperspectral satellite, and the GEO infrared early warning satellite. His current interests include high orbit photoelectric integrated detection and pre-research of the next generation of very large satellites.
