Book Description

Publication Date: July 31, 2003 | ISBN-10: 0306474832 | ISBN-13: 978-0306474835 | Edition: 1

Hyperspectral Imaging: Techniques for Spectral Detection and Classification is an outgrowth of the research conducted over the years in the Remote Sensing Signal and Image Processing Laboratory (RSSIPL) at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. It explores applications of statistical signal processing to hyperspectral imaging and further develops non-literal (spectral) techniques for subpixel detection and mixed pixel classification. This text is the first of its kind on the topic and can be considered a recipe book offering various techniques for hyperspectral data exploitation. In particular, some known techniques, such as OSP (Orthogonal Subspace Projection) and CEM (Constrained Energy Minimization) that were previously developed in the RSSIPL, are discussed in great detail. This book is self-contained and can serve as a valuable and useful reference for researchers in academia and practitioners in government and industry.

1.0 out of 5 stars Worst quality I have EVER seen!, December 17, 2006

This review is from: Hyperspectral Imaging: Techniques for Spectral Detection and Classification (Hardcover)

For a book about cutting edge, remote sensing techniques, the quality of the printing of this book is appalling! Images are blurry, and their text captions are often unreadable. Even the print quality of the normal text itself is often poor and misaligned - news papers have better quality than this book!

2.0 out of 5 stars Good for references, November 2, 2009

keep truckin (Lafayette, IN) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Hyperspectral Imaging: Techniques for Spectral Detection and Classification (Hardcover)

I am reviewing this book as a possibility for use in a master's-level class. The one advantage I see of this book is that it provides a large list of references for each subject. However, the pictures are very poor quality, and the text is difficult to read. Furthermore, the descriptions of analytical techniques are often worse than those presented in the original journal articles. Hence, I plan to use the journal articles referenced in this book as a basis for the class, but to return the actual book itself. It's a shame to see a text with this much potential end up looking this poor in quality.

This review is from: Hyperspectral Imaging: Techniques for Spectral Detection and Classification (Hardcover)

This is a very good account of signal processing methods for detection/classification stemming from the author's diligent work over a 15-year period. Though this is not my particular application of expertise I am sufficiently familiar with signal processing theory/methods to recognize the merit of this book. As of date you cannot view pages from this book on Amazon, so here is some help from the Springer website.
