This book is a completely updated, greatly expanded version of the previously successful volume by the author. The Second Edition includes new results and data, and discusses a unified framework and rationale for designing and evaluating image processing algorithms. Written from the viewpoint that image processing supports remote sensing science, this book describes physical models for remote sensing phenomenology and sensors and how they contribute to models for remote-sensing data. The text th...

Design of Close-Fit Liners for the Rehabilitation of Gravity Pipes, MOP 145, provides a comprehensive source of information on the design of flexible, close-fit linings for the renewal or rehabilitation of pipes designed for gravity flow such as sanitary sewers, culverts, and storm sewers. The design solutions presented can be used for circular and non-circular geometries such as pipe-arch shapes, egg shapes, elliptical shaped pipes both horizontal and vertical, box shaped pipes both rectangular...

Small-format aerial photography provides a cheap alternative to conventional large-format aeiral survey. This book forms a complete guide to aerial photography operations using small cameras. From the basics of mapping, measurement and photography to all technical details of planning a survey to numerous applications and case studies, the book enables readers to understand all aspects of the subject. The readership catered for includes: professional and reference - practising engineers and appli...

This important new book replaces the author's highly successful Practical Surveying and Computations and has been completely recast to accord with modern practices of geospatial surveying.Although much has changed in the profession of geospatial surveying, the same basic geometrical principles still apply - as does the need for instrumental calibration, its proper application, the suitable analysis of data and the presentation of results to users. Although the hands-on nature of day-to-day work...

The Code of Estimating Practice provides the authoritative guide to the essential principles and best practice in construction estimating, from preselection to the acceptance of a successful tender. The sixth edition has been completely rewritten and updated to incorporate many new issues which are now regarded as integral parts of good estimating practice for main and specialist trade contractors. An important aspect of the estimator's work is to describe those factors affecting the cost of a p...
