Egan W. Optical Remote Sensing

New York: Marcel Dekker, 2004. — 493 p.This book explores advanced concepts in the mathematical representation of polarization, descriptors, and various optical elements used in the analysis of polarization in multiple applications—highlighting tried and proven techniques to enhance aircraft and satellite technology and determine the photometric and polarimetric properties of atmosphere, ground surfaces, and inner and outer space. Experiments such as the NASA Lear Airborne Observatory and the Mariner explorers are presented as a basis for many of the recent advances in remote sensing and polarization.
