First-of-its-kind remote sensing textbook will debut at TECHINT 2013
CHANTILLY, VA – Riverside Research, an accredited provider of intelligence education and training in advanced sensing technologies, will unveil a special pre-release edition of its groundbreaking textbook on electro-optical remote sensing at TECHINT 2013, the Advanced Technical Intelligence Association’s (ATIA) fifteenth annual technical intelligence symposium. TECHINT 2013 will take place at the TASC Heritage Conference Center on December 10-11.
“We are extremely proud of our partnership with AFIT to create such a practical and valuable resource,” said Richard Annas, President of Riverside Research. “As a not-for-profit company, we are chartered to advance scientific research in the public interest and in support of the US government. This textbook does just that, building on over three decades of specialized instruction in electro-optical remote sensing technologies and geospatial applications of interest to the Department of Defense and Intelligence communities. We are thrilled to debut the pre-release edition at TECHINT 2013.”
Although the pre-release edition is not available for purchase, a limited number of copies will be on hand for preview at the Riverside Research exhibit table during the TECHINT symposium. As a special promotion, TECHINT attendees will have a chance to win a first edition copy of the textbook. Jim Longley, ATIA’s Executive Director, will hold the drawings in the conference center auditorium prior to the final agenda session each day. Winners will receive their first edition copies upon publication in 2014.
“With the publication of this textbook, AFIT and Riverside Research are further advancing US technical capabilities in the unique and important art of remote sensing technology,” said Longley. “It’s an excellent reference for anyone working in the Intelligence Community.”
Once published, Riverside Research will donate all proceeds from book sales to programs dedicated to advancing the intelligence workforce. Click here to sign up for updates.
More about the textbook
The Phenomenology of Intelligence-focused Remote Sensing thoroughly discusses all the necessary elements of spatial, spectral, and temporal signature collection in the visible and infrared, including non-literal imagery interpretation, thermal, reflective, and polarimetric target characterization, radiative transfer, advanced technical intelligence collection systems, and data processing, analysis, and exploitation techniques. The textbook was developed with funding from the Riverside Research Independent Research and Development program.
