What is it about?
This book gives a global review of optical satellite signal processing theories, algorithms, and system implementation. Consisting of 14 chapters, it describes a variety of types of spaceborne optical sensors and their performance measurements. The author shares with readers his 30 years firsthand experience and research outcomes in developing novel signal processing solutions to handle satellite data and to enhance the satellite sensor performance and know-how for optical satellite data generation, onboard data compression, and its implementation strategy, data formatting channel coding, calibration, and various signal processing technologies.
