19 Remote Sensing Applications in Archaeological Research

The spectral capability of early satellite sensors opened new perspectives in the field of archaeological research. The recent availability of hyperspectral and multispectral satellite imageries has established a valid and low cost alternative to aerial imagery in the field of archaeological remote sensing. The high spatial resolution and spectral capability can make the VHR satellite images a ...

Remote Sensing for Medical and Health Care Applications

Radar-based remote sensing techniques are typically employed to determine the velocities and positions of targets such as aircraft, ships, and land vehicles. In particular, Xand Kband microwave devices, including oscillators and antennas, have been used to measure the velocity of automobiles and other moving objects in recent years. Microwave devices that are compact, accurate, reliable, and in...
