Computer Processing of Remotely-Sensed Images : An Introduction PDF

Remotely-sensed images of the Earth's surface provide a valuable source of information about the geographical distribution and properties of natural and cultural features. This fully revised and updated edition of a highly regarded textbook deals with the mechanics of processing remotely-senses images. Presented in an accessible manner, the book covers a wide range of image processing and pattern recognition techniques. Features include:

• New topics on LiDAR data processing, SAR interferometry, the analysis of imaging spectrometer image sets and the use of the wavelet transform.
• An accompanying CD-ROM with:
  • updated MIPS software, including modules for standard procedures such as image display, filtering, image transforms, graph plotting, import of data from a range of sensors.
  • A set of exercises, including data sets, illustrating the application of discussed methods using the MIPS software.
  • An extensive list of WWW resources including colour illustrations for easy download.
