Advances in Earth Observation

Earth observation (EO) is the gathering of information about the physical, chemical, and biological systems of the planet via remote-sensing technologies, supplemented by Earth-surveying techniques, which encompasses the collection, analysis, and presentation of data. Earth observation is used to monitor and assess the status of and changes in natural and built environments.


In the present book, twelve typical literatures about earth observation published on international authoritative journals were selected to introduce the worldwide newest progress, which contains reviews or original researches on environmental protection, remote observation monitoring, thermonuclear reaction, earth observation satellite, space image and integration and earth-surveying techniques, etc. We hope this book can demonstrate advances in earth observation as well as give references to the researchers, students and other related people.
