See all formats and editions

For junior/graduate-level courses in Remote Sensing in Geography, Geology, Forestry, and Biology.

Introductory Digital Image Processing: A Remote Sensing Perspective focuses on digital image processing of aircraft- and satellite-derived, remotely sensed data for Earth resource management applications. Extensively illustrated, it explains how to extract biophysical information from remote sensor data for almost all multidisciplinary land-based environmental projects. Part of the Pearson Series Geographic Information Science.

Now in full color, the Fourth Edition provides up-to-date information on analytical methods used to analyze digital remote sensing data. Each chapter contains a substantive reference list that can be used by students and scientists as a starting place for their digital image processing project or research. A new appendix provides sources of imagery and other geospatial information.

Bit dated, but very useful.

Like the title says, some of the subject matter can be a bit dated, in terms of ecology or current events. This is very useful for basic understanding of how images are used/interpreted in a remote sensing perspective, as well as the math behind it. Many views of statistical analysis as well. I Used it for a junior level university course and kept it based on the subject matter and refer to it every once in while.

Cheap paper for a book about Images

This book is a cheap version, which is frustrating. This book was EXPENSIVE ($170). I am disappointed because I borrowed the exact same text from my school's library, and the pictures are shiny and bright---the print quality is impressive--on THAT book. Beware of the company that is trying to pass off a cheap copies on Amazon. I'll just give my money to our school's bookstore.
