Description: This book, designed to serve as a textbook for graduate and post-graduate students, presents a systematic and convincing exposition of the science and technology of Remote Sensing at a cultural level so that it is understood by the young and adult learners alike. It is meticulously planned to offer conceptual clarity and understanding to the readers on the high-tech subjects of Remote Sensing, GIS and GPS. Every chapter of this book is appended by Suggestions for Supplementary Reading in which large number of reference materials - books and research papers, are meticulously chosen and presented for developing continued interest and creative imagination in such candidates who can embark upon innovative work in their respective fields of specialization using the powerful Remote Sensing and GIS techniques.
Foreword by Dr V. Jayaraman
Director, Earth Observations System, Indian Space Research Organisation, Bangalore.
Excerpts: "... with so much happening in remote sensing field, Dr B. C. Panda, the doyen of agricultural physics, with his passion for the topic, has taken up the onerous task of writing a textbook on "Remote Sensing: Principles and Applications", bringing all the essence into a single space. The lucid manner in which Dr. Panda has explained the nuances of the advances in the field is to be greatly appreciated and I am sure, this reader-friendly book will not only directly serve the needs of the students as a textbook, but also serve as a reference manual for the professionals working in the field."
