Structured for clarity, the book builds upon its own concepts, leading readers through introductory explanations, sensor-specific insights, and ultimately to advanced concepts and specialized applications. By bridging the gap between theory and practice, this volume equips researchers, geoscientists, and enthusiasts with the knowledge to reshape Earth observation through the dynamic lens of deep learning.
