Optical Satellite Signal Processing and Enhancement PDF

This book gives a global review of optical satellite signal processing theories, algorithms, and system implementations. Consisting of 14 chapters, it describes a variety of spaceborne optical sensors and their performance measurements. The author shares with readers his firsthand experience and research outcomes in developing novel signal processing solutions to handle satellite data and to enhance the satellite sensor performance and the know-how for optical satellite data generation, onboard data compression, and its implementation strategy, data formatting, channel coding, calibration, and various signal processing technologies. Written with both postgraduate students and advanced professionals in mind, this useful monograph addresses the current lack of literature about satellite-based optical imaging and presents a rigorous treatment of the broad array of technologies involved in the field.
