Photopolarimetry in Remote Sensing

About this book

Photopolarimetric remote sensing is vital in fields as diverse as medical diagnostics, astrophysics, atmospheric science, Environmental-Plant sciencesal monitoring and military intelligence. The areas considered here include: radiative transfer., dynamic systems., backscatter polarization., biological systems., astrophysical phenomena., comets., and instrumentation. Subtopics include observational information including determining morphology and chemistry, light-scattering models, and characterization methodologies. While this introductory text highlights the latest advances in this multi-disciplinary topic, is also a reference guide for the advanced researcher.
