Building Earth Observation Cameras (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Observing the Earth from the vantage point of space has emerged as an important means to plan our natural resources in a sustainable manner. This book helps readers understand the tradeoffs in selecting various sensor parameters for electro-optical sensors and how each parameter is optimally selected. It provides a detailed account of the actions required to make a camera system space worthy. The book includes case studies based on the IRS sensors and is a good companion for a system designer.

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).
