Remote Sensing and Digital Image Processing with R

這本關於遙感和自然資源的數字影像處理的新教科書包含了許多實際的問題解決練習，運用遙感數據收集資源的儀器和衛星系統應用，並強調使用免費和開源平台R。它通過讓學生參與實際項目的理論學習，解釋了遙感的基本概念和多學科應用，並使用R語言和R套件進行教學。所有章節都有學習目標、計算、問題、解答練習、資源和研究建議。

特點：
1. 解釋了被動和主動遙感的理論以及其在水、土壤、植被和大氣中的應用。
2. 使用免費和開源（FOSS）R平台進行數據分析，使遙感對任何有電腦的人都可用。
3. 包含來自不同環境的案例研究，使用免費軟體算法和R工具集進行主動學習和實踐。
4. 在每章結尾提供實踐練習，鼓勵讀者了解環境、遙感目標和過程的潛力和限制。
5. 通過作業任務探索遙感的當前趨勢和發展，使用免費多光譜遙感數據，包括非常高的空間分辨率數據源，進行目標識別和影像處理技術。

雖然這本書的重點是環境和農業工程，但它也可以廣泛應用於物理、自然和社會科學等各種學科。上級本科或研究生課程的學生，修讀遙感、地理處理、土木和環境工程、地球科學、環境科學、電氣工程、生物學和水文學等課程的學生，也會從本書的學習目標中受益。使用遙感和數字處理的專業人士也會發現這本書很有啟發性。

Marcelo de Carvalho Alves

Dr. Alves is an associate professor at the Federal University de Lavras, Brazil. His education includes master's, doctoral, and post-doctoral degrees in Agricultural Engineering at Federal University of Lavras, Brazil. He has varied research interests and has published on surveying, remote sensing, geocomputation, and agriculture applications. He has over 20 years of extensive experience in data science, digital image processing, and modeling using multiscale, multidisciplinary, multispectral, and multitemporal concepts applied to different environments. Experimental field sites included a tropical forest, savanna, wetland, and agricultural fields in Brazil. His research has been predominantly funded by CNPq, CAPES, FAPEMIG, and FAPEMAT. Over the years, he has built a large portfolio of research grants, mostly relating to applied and theoretical remote sensing, broadly in the context of vegetation cover, plant diseases, and related impacts of climate change.

Luciana Sanches

Dr. Sanches graduated with a degree in Sanitary Engineering from the Federal University of Mato Grosso, Brazil, a master's degree in Sanitation, Environment, and Water Resources from the Federal University of Minas Gerais, a PhD in Road Engineering, Hydraulic Channels, and Ports from Universidad de Cantabria, Spain, a post-doctorate degree in Environmental Physics, Brazil, and a post-doctorate degree in Environmental Sciences from the University of Reading, United Kingdom. Her education includes postgraduate degreees in Workplace Safety Engineering at Federal University of Mato Grosso, Brazil, and in Project Development and Management for Municipal Water Resources Management by the National Water Agency, Brazil. She is currently an associate professor at the Federal University of Mato Grosso, and worked for more than 20 years in research on atmosphere-biosphere interaction, hydrometeorology in various temporal-spatial scales with interpretation based in environmental modeling and remote sensing. She has been applying remote sensing in teaching and research activities to support the interpretation of environmental dynamics.
