Summary |
"The book cites more than 1,300 references, and the companion CD-ROM includes useful computer program codes and valuable data sets. The author assumes no special mathematical background beyond a good working knowledge of statistics, calculus, and linear algebra on an undergraduate level." "Graduate students as well as practitioners of interdisciplinary research on the Earth's land surface environment will find Quantitative Remote Sensing of Land Surfaces to be a peerless addition to the professional literature."--BOOK JACKET |
