Geomatics covers the science and technology of gathering different sources of geospatial data, which after storing, interpreting, analyzing, modelling and distributing, can be turned into useful geographic information. Geomatics involves the tools and techniques used in surveying, cartography, photogrammetry, remote sensing, satellite navigation systems, geographical information systems and other earth-related disciplines.

This new book is aimed at senior undergraduates and new postgraduates to help them appreciate ways in which remote sensing can be used for the study and monitoring of vegetation. The authors believe that in order to be able to obtain the most benefit from a technique such as remote sensing, it is essential for the user to have a thorough understanding of the principles involved, rather than just apply procedures and techniques by rote. Correct interpretation of RS data to provide useful information requires a good understanding of the ways in which these data are obtained and especially of the inherent limitations.
