Book Synopsis Planetary Remote Sensing and Mapping by : Bo Wu

Download or read book Planetary Remote Sensing and Mapping written by Bo Wu. This book was released on 2018-10-29. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The early 21st century marks a new era in space exploration. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) of the United States, The European Space Agency (ESA), as well as space agencies of Japan, China, India, and other countries have sent their probes to the Moon, Mars, and other planets in the solar system. Planetary Remote Sensing and Mapping introduces original research and new developments in the areas of planetary remote sensing, photogrammetry, mapping, GIS, and planetary science resulting from the recent space exploration missions. Topics covered include: Reference systems of planetary bodies Planetary exploration missions and sensors Geometric information extraction from planetary remote sensing data Feature information extraction from planetary remote sensing data Planetary remote sensing data fusion Planetary data management and presentation Planetary Remote Sensing and Mapping will serve scientists and professionals working in the planetary remote sensing and mapping areas, as well as planetary probe designers, engineers, and planetary geologists and geophysicists. It also provides useful reading material for university teachers and students in the broader areas of remote sensing, photogrammetry, cartography, GIS, and geodesy.

Book Synopsis Manual of Remote Sensing, Remote Sensing for the Earth Sciences by : Andrew N. Rencz

Download or read book Manual of Remote Sensing, Remote Sensing for the Earth Sciences written by Andrew N. Rencz. This book was released on 1999-03-08. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die großen Fortschritte in der Fernerkundung sowie die Verfügbarkeit umfangreicher neuer Satellitendaten machten die Neuauflage des bekannten 8-bändigen "Manual of Remote Sensing" erforderlich. Behandelt werden Theorie und praktische Anwendungsmöglichkeiten von Fernerkundungs-Satellitendaten auf geologische Problemstellungen. Darüber hinaus beschreibt Band 3 die technischen Mittel zur Erzielung der Daten (Radar, Licht-, Infrarot- und geophysikalische Sensoren) und deren Anwendungsbereiche (Exploration von Erz- und Kohlelagerstätten, Stratigraphie, technische Geologie und Umweltstudien). Dieser Band bietet eine ideale Kombination von Theorie, Datenanalyse und Fallstudien zur Veranschaulichung grundlegender Konzepte.

Book Synopsis Planetary Cartography and GIS by : Henrik Hargitai

Download or read book Planetary Cartography and GIS written by Henrik Hargitai. This book was released on 2019-02-22. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book approaches geological, geomorphological and topographical mapping from the point in the workflow at which science-ready datasets are available. Though there have been many individual projects on dynamic maps and online GISs, in which coding and data processing are given precedence over cartographic principles, cartography is more than “just” processing and displaying spatial data. However, there are currently no textbooks on this rapidly changing field, and methods tend to be shared informally. Addressing this gap in the literature, the respective chapters outline many topics pertaining to cartography and mapping such as the role and definition of planetary cartography and (vs?) Geographic Information Science; theoretical background and practical methodologies in geological mapping; science-ready versus public-ready products; a goal/procedure-focused practical manual of the most commonly used software in planetary mapping, which includes generic (ArcGIS and its extensions, JMARS) and specific tools (HiView, Cratertools etc.); extracting topographic information from images; thematic mapping: climate; geophysics; surface modeling; change detection; landing site selection; shared maps; dynamic maps on the web; planetary GIS interfaces; crowdsourcing; crater counting techniques; irregular bodies; geological unit symbology; mapping center activities; and web services. All chapters were prepared by authors who have actually produced geological maps or GISs for NASA / the USGS, DLR, ESA or MIIGAIK. Taken together, they offer an excellent resource for all planetary scientists whose research depends on mapping, and for students of astrogeology.

Book Synopsis Planetary Geodesy and Remote Sensing by : Shuanggen Jin

Download or read book Planetary Geodesy and Remote Sensing written by Shuanggen Jin. This book was released on 2014-10-22. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although lunar exploration began in the 1960s, the moon and other planets have many long-standing, unanswered questions about planetary environments, origin, formation and evolution, magnetization of crustal rocks, internal structure, and possible life. However, with the recent development of planetary geodesy and remote sensing with higher spatial and spectral resolution have come new opportunities to explore and understand the moon and planets in greater detail. Written by well-established, international scientists in the planetary science and remote sensing fields, Planetary Geodesy and Remote Sensing presents the latest methods and techniques of planetary geodesy and remote sensing. The book discusses the latest results in planetary science, including theory, methods, measurements, topography, gravity and magnetic field, atmosphere and ionosphere, geomorphology, volcano, craters, internal structure, and water. The book also highlights comparative studies with the earth in the atmosphere, geomorphology, and interiors of the planets. It discusses future missions and future objectives of planetary exploration and science using the latest advances in remote sensing. With chapters contributed by a stellar list of pioneers and experts, the book provides new insight on the application of new technologies and the observations in planetary geodesy. It is suitable for those working in the field as well as for planetary probe designers, engineers, and planetary geologists and geophysicists.
