Engineering and Design: Remote Sensing (Engineer Manual Em 1110-2-2907) Us Army Corps of Engineers

This manual reviews the theory and practice of remote sensing and image processing. As a Geographical Information System (GIS) tool, remote sensing provides a cost effective means of surveying, monitoring, and mapping objects at or near the surface of the Earth. Remote sensing has rapidly been integrated among a variety of U. S. Army Corps Engineers (USACE) applications, and has proven to be valuable in meeting Civil Works business program requirements.
