Liang S. (Ed.) Advances in Land Remote Sensing: System, Modeling, Inversion and Application

New York: Springer, 2008. — 496 p.This book is primarily based on presentations in the three reviewing panels of the 9th International Symposium on Physical Measurements and Signatures in Remote Sensing held at the Institute for Geographical Sciences and Natural Resource Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China, in October 2005. It presents a collection of review papers on remote sensing sensor systems, radiation modeling and inversion of land surface variables, and remote sensing applications. Each chapter summarizes the progress in the past few years and also identifies the research issues for the near future.
