| Abstract
|
:
|
"Remotely-sensed images of the Earth's surface provide information about the geographical distribution and properties of natural and cultural features. Computer processing takes place after the images have been collected, and depends on their physical properties and the applications for which they will be used. Computer Processing of Remotely-Sensed Images, An Introduction is the third edition of this textbook." "This fully revised and updated edition deals with the mechanics of processing remotely-sensed images. Presented in an accessible manner, this book covers a wide range of image processing and pattern recognition techniques. A number of examples are included on the accompanying CD to illustrate the practical use of specific techniques." "This is an essential textbook for upper level undergraduate and Masters students taking courses in Remote Sensing, in departments of Geography, Earth and Environmental Science. Researchers and professionals working on the processing and classification of remotely-sensed data, will also greatly benefit from the guidance contained in this text."--Jacket
