From the Back Cover
Introduction to Remote Sensing: Digital Image Processing & Applications presents a unique textbook/CD-ROM package, explaining how digital images can be processed and offering students practical hands-on experience of image processing.
This package, which is ideal for student self-study, classroom use or institutional purchase, shows how digital images images can be processed to maximise information output and discusses a range of environmental monitoring techniques. A range of case studies are explored, drawn from a variety of disciplines and from across the world's major regions. The final section of the book presents a Practical Manual of image processing instruction and detailed practical exercises to support the unique CD-ROM which accompanies the package.
The accompanying CD-ROM contains fully functioning image processing software - a limited edition of DRAGON software developed specifically for readers of Introductory Remote Sensing - and over 70 satellite digital datasets for 9 scenes across America, Ireland, China, Sudan, Peru, Western Europe and the UK. Presenting a unqiue hands-on image processing package, the practical manual and CD-ROM takes students, step-by-step, through the techniques of processing the data sets provided, in various combinations. This CD-ROM enables the display of 1,000s of different images, and the ability to perform various image manipulations and measure and analyse results.
