Product Description

Remote Sensing Digital Image Analysis provides the non-specialist with an introduction to quantitative evaluation of satellite and aircraft derived remotely retrieved data. Each chapter covers the pros and cons of digital remotely sensed data, without detailed mathematical treatment of computer based algorithms, but in a manner conductive to an understanding of their capabilities and limitations. Problems conclude each chapter. This fourth edition has been developed to reflect the changes that have occurred in this area over the past several years. Its focus is on those procedures that seem now to have become part of the set of tools regularly used to perform thematic mapping. As with previous revisions, the fundamental material has been preserved in its original form because of its tutorial value; its style has been revised in places and it has been supplemented if newer aspects have emerged in the time since the third edition appeared. It still meets, however, the needs of the senior student and practitioner.

Customer Reviews

This book is great for the begginer through to the expert.
This book is worth its weight in gold. It covers all aspects of remote sensing and digital imaging from Satellite orbits through to Spatial filters and Fourier Transforms. I covers everything in an easy to understand and logical progression. I am relatively new to the subject and found this book invaluable. You can even apply the relevant algorithms to computer programmes and watch them work. The section on image enhancement is exceptionally good. For every technique and operation listed, there are sample images to show you what the resulting effect is. If you have anything to do with Remote sensing or Digital image analysis, or both, then this book should take pride of place in your collection.
