5.0 out of 5 stars
A must read for students of Laser remote sensing,
By A Customer
This review is from: Laser Remote Sensing: Fundamentals and Applications (Hardcover)
During my association with people in the field of Laser remote sensing , I have still to meet a person who doesn't swear by this book. Clear, elaborate and accurate is how I would describe it. Its only unfortunate that this book is not readily available.Its definitely on as a reference in most papers and a good starting point for students beginning out in the field of Laser remote sensing.All in all a 'must have' and a 'must read' for any one interested in Laser remote sensing.

Lidar fundamentals,

This review is from: Laser Remote Sensing: Fundamentals and Applications (Hardcover)
If you need a comprehensive introduction to Lidar technology, then Raymond Measures' Laser Remote Sensing: Fundamentals and Applications is really your only choice. The book is well written and nicely organized.
The science of light scattering (elastic, Raman, and fluorescence, chapters 2-4) is presented clearly, with appropriately detailed derivations. Elsewhere the level of detail and significance is uneven. I'd like to see a uniform presentation of Lidar engineering principles rather than a spotty coverage with detailed derivations. Two essential topics receive little or no coverage: eye safety restrictions and methods for high-speed detection. Even with its 1992 update, the book is growing a bit long in the tooth. For instance, Measures notes the future importance of infrared Lidar, but does not teach any of the necessary technology.

5.0 out of 5 stars
good book for lidar study,
By
This review is from: Laser Remote Sensing: Fundamentals and Applications (Hardcover)
clearly addressed, even published in 1984, it beats all other similar books in laser remote sensing filed today. For people have studied quantum mechanics and spectroscopy class, this book will give a much clearer sense. Journal papers only talk about results, reader could use formula given by this book to verify some results in journal papers.
