The book presents the basic principle of geospatial data acquisition limiting the scope to the intersection of earth observation and remote sensing. The design of the book was governed by the aim to cover the interests of a very wide user spectrum and the restriction that a novice student of geo-informatics can learn the selected basics in three weeks. The structure of the book follows the classical set-up of first reviewing the necessary physics before discussing sensor technology and introducing common image processing techniques. It represents a comprehensive introduction to the subject. It can also serve as a reference book.
