The broad areas covered in this book include: Concept, Definition and Historical Development of Remote Sensing: Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR); Platforms and Sensors: Aerial Photography and Imaging System; Digital Image Processing Geographical Information System (GIS) and Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). An extensive 'Acronyms and Glossary' and 'Select Bibliography have been given in the end. This book may be considered as a course book of Remote Sensing, GIS and GNSS for the Undergraduate and Postgraduate students of Geography.
