Building Earth Observation Cameras (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book helps readers understand the tradeoffs in selecting various sensor parameters for electro-optical sensors and how each parameter is optimally selected in earth observation from vantage point. It provides a detailed account of the actions required to make a camera system space worthy and includes case studies based on the IRS sensors.

Autorenporträt

Dr. George Joseph started his career in 1962 at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), Mumbai, where he was involved in the study of cosmic rays. For his pioneering work on the detection of the emission of neutrons from the sun, he was awarded a PhD in 1971. In 1973, he joined the Space Applications Centre (SAC), one of the major centers of the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), primarily for developing Earth observation systems. Under his leadership, a variety of Earth observation cameras were developed for the Indian Remote Sensing Satellite (IRS) and the Indian National Satellite (INSAT).
