Pt. One. Image processing -- 1. Digital image and display -- 2. Point operations (contrast enhancement) -- 3. Algebraic operations (multi-image point operations) -- 4. Filtering and neighbourhood processing -- 5. RGB-IHS transformation -- 6. Image fusion techniques -- 7. Principal component analysis -- 8. Image classification -- 9. Image geometric operations -- 10. *Introduction to interferometric synthetic aperture radar techniques -- Pt. Two. Geographical information systems -- 11. Geographical information systems -- 12. Data models and structures -- 13. Defining a coordinate space -- 14. Operations -- 15. Extracting information from point data: geostatistics -- 16. Representing and exploiting surfaces -- 17. Decision support and uncertainty -- 18. Complete problems and multi-criteria evaluation -- Pt. Three. Remote sensing applications -- 19. Image processing and GIS operation strategy -- 20. Thematic teaching case studies in SE Spain -- 21. Research case studies -- Pt. Four. Summary -- 23. Concluding remarks. -- Appendix A: Imaging sensor systems and remote sensing satellites -- Appendix B: Online resources of information, software and data -- References -- Index.
Review: "Essential Image Processing and GIS for Remote Sensing is an accessible overview of the subject and successfully draws together these three key areas in a balanced and comprehensive manner. This book pinpoints the overlap between the individual subjects, providing a summary of essential techniques and a selection of key case studies in a variety of application areas." "The book conveys in-depth knowledge of image processing and GIS in an accessible manner, with clear explanations and conceptual illustrations used throughout to enhance student understanding. The understanding of key concepts is emphasised throughout with minimal assumption of prior mathematical experience."--BOOK JACKET.Summary: This title discusses Essential Image Processing and GIS for Remote Sensing in a balanced and comprehensive manner.
