Getting Started with UAV Imaging Systems: A Radiometric Guide 

Barbara G. Grant, 2016

 

provides the tools technologists need to begin designing or analyzing  the data product of a UAV imager. Covering the basics of target  signatures, radiometric propagation, electro-optical systems, UAV  platforms, and image quality, it is replete with examples that promote  immediate application of the concepts. Reference materials at the end of  each chapter, including many links to current systems and platforms,  offer further guidance for readers. Engineers and scientists who specify  instrument requirements; design, build, or test hardware; or analyze  images for commercial, scientific, and military applications will find  the book a useful addition to their working library.

“This text is a positive contribution to the ‘Getting Started’  literature in UAV imaging. The math and concepts are not simple but are  presented and explained in a way that is accessible to a broad audience.”
—from a book review by Melissa J. Rura, Ph.D published in
Photogrammatric Engineering & Remote Sensing 83(3), 176 (2017) [doi: 10.14358/PERS.83.3.175]          

Best Book Written by a Data Collector

Barbara G. Grant, 2022

Amazon Kindle edition, $0.99


When a woman engineer is given the opportunity to complete the long-awaited work of a terminally-ill colleague, she must confront poverty, prejudice, and powerful academics who do not want to see her succeed. For anybody who wonders why so little of the engineering and scientific literature is written by women, this short memoir provides one woman's story as an answer.  

 Field Guide to Radiometry

Barbara G. Grant, 2011


Written from a systems engineering perspective, this Field Guide covers  topics in optical radiation propagation, material properties, sources,  detectors, system components, measurement, calibration, and photometry.  Appendices provide material on SI units, conversion factors, source  luminance data, and many other subjects. The book's organization and  extensive collection of diagrams, tables, and graphs will enable the  reader to efficiently identify and apply relevant information to  radiometric problems arising amid the demands of today's fast-paced  technical environment. 

  

The Art of Radiometry 

by James M. Palmer and Barbara G. Grant, 2009


The material from this book was derived from a popular first-year  graduate class taught by James M. Palmer for over twenty years at the  University of Arizona College of Optical Sciences. This text covers  topics in radiation propagation, radiometric sources, optical materials,  detectors of optical radiation, radiometric measurements, and  calibration. Radiometry forms the practical basis of many current  applications in aerospace engineering, infrared systems engineering,  remote sensing systems, displays, visible and ultraviolet sensors,  infrared detectors of optical radiation, and many other areas. While  several texts individually cover topics in specific areas, this text  brings the underlying principles together in a manner suitable for both  classroom teaching and a reference volume that the practicing engineer  can use. 

The level of discussion of the material is suitable for a class  taught to advanced undergraduate students or graduate students. Although  this book is not a theoretical treatment, the mathematics required to  understand all equations include differential and integral calculus. 

This text should be foremost in the toolkit of the practicing  engineer or scientist working on radiometric problems in areas of  optical engineering, electro-optical engineering, systems engineering,  imagery analysis, and many others, allowing the technical professional  to successfully apply radiometric principles in his or her work.
