Synopsis

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-sensed images. Presented in an accessible manner, the book covers a wide range of image processing and pattern recognition techniques. The features include: new topics on LiDAR data processing, SAR interferometry, the analysis of imaging spectrometer image sets and the use of the wavelet transform. The accompanying CD-ROM comes 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; and, an extensive list of WWW resources including colour illustrations for easy download.
