Getting Started with UAV Imaging Systems

Getting Started with UAV Imaging Systems: A Radiometric Guide, Second Edition provides tools for technologists working with UAV imagers or analyzing the data they provide. The book’s first edition, covering radiometry, imaging systems, and quality metrics, is augmented here by increased focus on detectors, the atmosphere, and radiometric calibration. Its examples promote immediate application in diverse areas including precision agriculture and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR.) Reference materials at the end of each chapter, including many links to current systems and platforms, offer further guidance for readers. Technologists who specify instrument requirements, design hardware, or analyze imagery will find the book a useful addition to their working library.
