REMOTE SENSING OF SOILS - RAVI SHANKAR DWIVEDI ...

This book is about applications of remote sensing techniques in the studies on soils. In
pursuance of the objective  the book initially provides an introduction to various elements and
concepts of remote sensing  and associated technologies   namely Geographic Information System
(GIS)  Global Positioning System (GPS) in chapter-1. An overview of the sensors used to collect
remote sensing data and important Earth observation missions is provided in chapter-2. The
processing of satellite digital data (geometric and radiometric corrections  feature reduction
digital data fusion  image enhancements and analysis) is dealt with in Chapter-3. In the
chapter to follow the interpretation of remote sensing data   very important and crucial step
in deriving information on natural resources including soils resources  is discussed. An
introduction to soils as a natural body with respect to their formation  physical and chemical
properties used during inventory of soils  and soil classification is given in Chapter-5.The
spectral response patterns of soils including hyperspectral characteristics -fundamental to
deriving information on soils from spectral measurements  and the techniques of soil resources
mapping are discussed in chapter-6 and -7 respectively. Furthermore  the creation of digital
soil resources database and the development of soil information systems  a very important
aspect of storage and dissemination of digital soil data to the end users are discussed in
ch.apter-8. Lastly  the applications of remote sensing techniques in soil moisture estimation
and soil fertility evaluation are covered in chapter-9 and -10  respectively.
