SPICE TOOLS SUPPORTING PLANETARY REMOTE SENSING

Remote Sensing supporting national forest inventories NFA

This chapter deals with the integration of remote sensing data for national forest inventories. It will give a basic understanding of how remote sensing can be integrated in national forest inventories (NFA) and what aspects are important. It will give an overview of different remote sensing systems, data types, the advantages and disadvantages as well as future developments. Remote sensing dat...

Radar Remote Sensing for Earth and Planetary Science

Among imaging sensors, RADAR, an acronym for RAdio Detection And Ranging, is generally used in different modes. The radar system transmits a microwave signal directing towards the region of interest and detects the signal backscattered by the surface. Due to long wavelength, microwave signal can penetrate through cloud cover, haze, dust and heavy rainfall. This property of microwaves helps in a...

Planetary Remote Sensing and Gis: the Convergence of Software, Techniques

Introduction: Geographic information systems (GIS), and more specifically remote sensing, have been used within the geosciences for well over two decades. In that time, the ability to handle a variety of increasingly voluminous data (both vector and raster) has allowed continued data analysis and exploitation within mainstream GIS. The uptake and use of GIS has not been mirrored within the plan...
