About this book

A leading text for undergraduate- and graduate-level courses, this book introduces widely used forms of remote sensing imagery and their applications in plant sciences, hydrology, earth sciences, and land use analysis. The text provides comprehensive coverage of principal topics and serves as a framework for organizing the vast amount of remote sensing information available on the Web. Including case studies and review questions, the book's 4 sections and 21 chapters are carefully designed as independent units that instructors can select from as needed for their courses.

This new 5th edition reflects the significant technological and methodological advances in the field. It contains a new chapter on aerial photography that emphasizes digital rather than analog systems and includes updated discussions of accuracy assessment, multitemporal change detection, and digital preprocessing. There are also links to recommended online videos and tutorials.

Media reviews
Introduction to Remote Sensing is the cornerstone of the reading list for my undergraduate environmental remote sensing course. The book is structured to have a clear and logical progression that guides students into the subject and builds a comprehensive knowledge base. Each chapter is highly informative, providing information that is easy to digest and fully contextualized with relevant examples and suitable illustrations. The revised questions at the end of each chapter provide an excellent opportunity for reflective learning. Overall, this book is an essential read for my students which has proven over the years to stand them in good stead. - Ross Hill, Bournemouth University, UK "This text is irreplaceable and has stood the test of time. It is a godsend for my remote sensing classes; students are guided by the book's logical structure, authoritative writing, liberal use of examples, and clear illustrations. The fifth edition offers an excellent opportunity to brush up on the rapidly changing face of remote sensing, as underlined by a separate chapter on change detection." - Victor Mesev, Department of Geography, Florida State University, USA "The fifth edition of this outstanding text maintains the high standards that faculty and students have enjoyed in previous editions. It provides one of the best-organized, most accessible treatments of introductory remote sensing available. The inclusion of extensive references and, especially, additional learning resources easily enables instructors to explore topics in more depth as desired. I am particularly impressed with how Campbell and Wynne have admirably met the challenge of keeping the text up to date with respect to new analytical methods, always a challenge in this ever-changing field. The full section on change detection is another welcome addition." - Rick L. Lawrence, Department of Land Resources and Environmental Sciences, Montana State University, USA
