This book examines the processing and analysis of multitemporal remotely sensed images. It features a variety of application examples covering both land and aquatic environments. It will help readers
This volume addresses the electromagnetic foundation of remote sensing. The basic grounds are presented in close association with the kinds of environmental targets to monitor and with the observing t
This volume comprises an outstanding variety of chapters on Earth Observation based time series analyses, undertaken to reveal past and current land surface dynamics for large areas. What exactly are
The aquatic coastal zone is one of the most challenging targets for environmental remote sensing. Properties such as bottom reflectance, spectrally diverse suspended sediments and phytoplankton commun
Land use and land cover (LULC) as well as its changes (LUCC) are an interplay between bio-geophysical characteristics of the landscape and climate as well as the complex human interaction including it
Remote Sensing image analysis is mostly done using only spectral information on a pixel by pixel basis. Information captured in neighbouring cells, or information about patterns surrounding the pixel
The versatile and available GNSS signals can detect the Earth’s surface environments as a new, highly precise, continuous, all-weather and near-real-time remote sensing tool. This book presents the th
This book provides a comprehensive overview of the state of the art in the field of thermal infrared remote sensing. Temperature is one of the most important physical environmental variables monitored
"Remote Sensing of Urban and Suburban Areas" provides instructors with a text reference that has a logical and easy-to-follow flow of topics around which they can structure the syllabi of their urban
This book covers a unique combination of scientific research and the practical demand for subsidence monitoring techniques focused on the satellite radar interferometry technique (InSAR). It covers t
This book provides extensive insight on remote sensing of coastal waters from aircraft and space-based platforms. The primary focus of the book is optical remote sensing using passive instruments, to
This volume is devoted to satellite radar interferometry (InSAR), a relatively new remote sensing technique used for geodetic applications such as topographic mapping and for high-accuracy monitor
Nonconformist, nonlinear, unruly thought and action have always led to great works of art, path-breaking inventions, and forward-looking perspectives. But how can this precious good find its way into
Collective Actions is one of the most significant artistic practices to emerge from Moscow Conceptualism. The group’s enigmatic idea of ‘empty action’ is the focal point for Marina Gerber’s exploratio
The proliferation of digital technology has changed our visual perception and the way we interpret terms such as “representation,” “immersion,” and “virtuality.” Kresimir Purgar examines some of the t
How have digital technologies affected the truth claims of photography? What has been the artistic response to the technological and societal transformations the digital revolution has brought about?
Analyzing recent documentary films dealing with undocumented migration at the Schengen Area’s fringes and against the backdrop of what has been termed the European refugee crisis, Jan Kühnemund invest
Northern landscape is conceived and perceived as bearing specific forms of topography, light, climate, and biogeography; as a site of wilderness and lived experience, imagination and the sublime. This
Aesthetic practices shape and are shaped by spatial formations. The essays in this volume survey configurations of spaces as macro, micro and meso, and study from a transregional perspective the ways
Michael Lent asks what role art has in colonization and subsequent dissolution. He proposes a practice informed by the fatal strategies and "raw" phenomenology of Jean Baudrillard as a challenge to a
The ancient stories of Pero, who breastfed her father, and of the unnamed Roman daughter who breastfed her mother, were of tremendous interest to artists and their audiences from the Renaissance to th
According to Walter Benjamin, the past that is not recognized by the present threatens to disappear irretrievably. As a consequence, photographs cannot save the moment from oblivion by pure depiction
Since the early 1990s, the term "global art" has gone hand in hand with an expansion of the canon, while not always reflecting the plurality of art worlds. This volume interrogates the relationship be
How to account for the peculiar attraction of certain photos? How to pinpoint the specific use of images in particular contexts? Monika Schwarzler presents a variety of photographic case studies explo
Well before today's debates on global warming and climate change, photographic images have played an important role in educating the general public about the wonders of nature and the destruction of t
