Innovations in Remote Sensing and Photogrammetry

This book results from the 13th Australasian Remote Sensing and Photogrammetry Conference. This conference brought together experts in remote sensing, GIS and Photogrammetry from across the Asia Pacific region and Australia (provisional Infotext).

Remote sensing of our environment is becoming increasingly accessible and important in today's society. This book aims to highlight some of the broad and multi-disciplinary applications, and emerging practices, that remote sensing and photogrammetric technologies lend themselves to. The papers have been selected from the 13th and 14th Australasian Remote Sensing and Photogrammetry Conferences given by experts in remote sensing, spatial analysis and photogrammetry from across the Asia Pacific region. They are presented here as a collection of peer reviewed papers covering research into areas such as data fusion techniques and their applications in environmental monitoring, synoptic monitoring and data processing, terrestrial and marine applications of remote sensing, and photogrammetry.
