This book introduces the overall concepts of research methods in Remote
Sensing. It also addresses the entire research framework, ranging from
ontology to documentation. As such, it covers the theory while providing
a solid basis for engaging in concrete research activities. It is not
intended as a textbook on remote sensing; rather, it offers guidance to
those conducting research by examining philosophical and other issues
that are generally not covered by textbooks. Various stages of research
are discussed in detail, including illustrative discussions and helpful
references. The topics considered in this book cover a part of the
research methodologies explored in Master of Philosophy (M.Phil.) and
Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) programs. The book's physical format has
been kept to a compact, handy minimum in order to maximize its
accessibility and readability for a broad range of researchers in the
field of remote sensing.
