DESCRIPTION:
Readers need only a basic background in classical electromagnetism and probability theories to grasp the material that the authors have very clearly explained. As remote sensing applications evolve it is increasingly important for engineers, physicists, geologists, and applied mathematicians to have a solid background in the interpretation and classification of microwave images and data.The book begins with a complete summary of all classical geometry models applicable to natural surfaces. Relevant fractal geometric concepts are then applied to the
Processing of an ocean image from space may detect the latter by means of a fractal analysis. The “scattering problem is discussed in detail with emphasis on its application to electromagnetic wave propagation, remote sensing, radar detection, and electromagnetic diagnostics. *An elegant and clear treatment of a rigorous topic with informative prose and realistic illustrations of scattering*Provides readers with a solid background in interpretation, classification, and thematization of microwave images*The only book available on fractal models and their application to scattering. This book provides a comprehensive overview of electromagnetic scattering from natural surfaces, ranging from the classical to the more recent (fractal) approach. As remote sensing applications become increasingly impor
