About this book
Volume 2 of the six-volume Remote Sensing Handbook, second edition, is focused on digital image processing, including image classification methods in land cover and land use. It discusses object-based segmentation and pixel-based image processing algorithms, change detection techniques, and image classification for a wide array of applications, including land use/land cover, croplands, urban studies, processing hyperspectral remote sensing data, thermal imagery, light detection and ranging (LiDAR), geoprocessing workflows, frontiers of GIScience, and future pathways. This thoroughly revised and updated volume draws on the expertise of a diverse array of leading international authorities in remote sensing and provides an essential resource for researchers at all levels interested in using remote sensing. It integrates discussions of remote sensing principles, data, methods, development, applications, and scientific and social context.

Biography
Dr Prasad S. Thenkabail, Senior Scientist (ST), United States Geological Survey (USGS), is a world-recognised expert in remote sensing science with major contributions in the field for nearly 40 years. He has made the list of the world's top 1% of scientists across 22 scientific fields and 176 sub-fields. Dr Thenkabail has conducted pioneering research in hyperspectral remote sensing of vegetation, global croplands, and their water use for food security. He obtained his PhD from the Ohio State University in 1992 and has 168 peer-reviewed publications, including 15 books (which includes this six-volume set), and over 15 major data releases such as the Landsat-derived global cropland extent product @ 30m and Landsat-derived rainfed and irrigated cropland area product @ 30 m (LGRIP30). He was recognised as a Fellow of the American Society of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS) in 2023. His scientific papers have won several awards for demonstrating world-class, highest-quality research. He was a Landsat Science Team Member (2007-2011).
