Earth Imaging and the Geolocation Revolution

Image Geolocation Made Clear

Image analysts, the tools they use, and our emerging smart machines that analyze optical and SAR images need to understand their geometry. Digital images are malleable and they are arranged in different forms that determine what they can and cannot do. You can’t fully use those images and understand the tales they tell without understanding their form and content. This entertaining book uses cartoons, clear language, stories, and visits from famous scientists to explain how geolocation works so that you can make better use of optical and SAR images and derive reliable ground locations.

“He’s done it again. From historical storytelling to the workings of Rapid Positioning Capability, Tom Ager’s Earth Imaging and the Geolocation Revolution is the perfect, quirky, and essential follow-up to The Essentials of SAR.”

“This book is a mature, engaging, and well-calibrated piece of technical writing. The book’s most distinctive quality is the author’s genuine enthusiasm for the elegance of the science, expressed in a voice that never condescends to the reader. This is the foundation on which this book’s usefulness to the GEOINT community rests.”
