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.

Review

"Like its first edition, Computer Processing of Remotely-Sensed Images: An Introduction will serve as a well-structured introductory textbook for geography students studying remote sensing at an advanced undergraduate and Masters levels. The book can be used as a sequence of remote sensing tutorials, with questions at the end of each chapter..", , , GI News# --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

From the Publisher

The successful application of remote sensing techniques requires knowledge and skills drawn from several scientific disciplines. Specialists in specific areas of the field require a broad range of expertise, encompassing physics and optics, mathematics, statistics and digital computers. Treats the specialized area of digital image processing of remotely-sensed data in relation to these and other fields, providing a thorough understanding of its functions, uses and capabilities. The opening section discusses the physical principles of remote sensing, followed by a description of satellite platforms currently in use as well those under development. Also examines the characteristics of digital computers as they relate to the processing of remotely-sensed image data. Examines particular topics within the general field of processing remotely-sensed data and their application to a range of problems in the environmental and earth sciences. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book with CD tools as well, August 30, 1999
By A Customer
I checked the book out from my library to read for my thesis, but the book is so good that I want to add it to my own collection. I have used it so much, that I'll need my own copy! The CD that comes with the book is also very good. The programs run very quickly on today's fast PC's. It's a great tool.

5.0 out of 5 stars I have answers for what-why-how after reading it..., June 28, 2001
By 
PRANAB JYOTI BARUAH (NIES, Tsukuba, Japan) - See all my reviews
I bought it just looking at the table of contents at ... website, and I got exactly what I was looking for !! A complete book on image processing/interpretation for remote-sensing imageries. There is even a concise introduction on remote-sensing principles. The book is concisely detailed and have clear how-to-do theoretical/mathematical explanations(often lacking in others) on every topic. And the best point, every section/method is referred to key publicatons for anyone interested in in-depth study of a topic !!!
