Satellite Remote Sensing

This book provides an excellent overview of the satellite archaeology and it is an invaluable text for archaeologists, scientists, and manager interested in using satellite Earth Observation (EO) to improve traditional approach for archaeological investigation, protection and management of Cultural Heritage.
The recent increasing development of EO techniques and the tremendous advanced of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have focused a great interest in the use of EO and ICT for supporting Cultural Heritage applications. The book focuses on new challenging prospective for the use of EO in archaeology not only for probing the subsurface to unveil sites and artifacts, but also for the management and valorization as well as for the monitoring and preservation of cultural resources. The book provides an excellent understanding of this revolutionary scenario which was unthinkable several years ago.
The book offers: (i) an excellent collection of outstanding articles focused on satellite data processing, analysis and interpretation for archaeological applications, (ii) impressive study cases (iii) excellent examples of the high potentiality of the Integration of multitemporal, multiscale, multisensors techniques. Each chapter is composed as a self-standing contribution to help the reader grasp the value of its content. Contributors are renowned experts from the international scientific community.
