Advances in Mapping from Remote Sensor Imagery: Techniques and Applications

This book discusses recent advances in remote sensing techniques for topographic and thematic mapping applications. The text covers modern photogrammetry, LiDAR remote sensing, and advanced image classification techniques; the use of remote sensing and image-processing techniques for extracting geographic features needed for topographic map production; and the synergistic use of remote sensing and image-processing techniques for environmental and ecological mapping. This book provides a state-of-the-art review for researchers and students working in remote sensing, photogrammetry, geographic information systems, geography, and environmental science.
