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. The
book provides an overview of essential techniques and a selection
of key case studies in a variety of application areas.
Key concepts and ideas are introduced in a clear and logical
manner and described through the provision of numerous relevant
conceptual illustrations. Mathematical detail is kept to a minimum
and only referred to where necessary for ease of understanding.
Such concepts are explained through common sense terms rather than
in rigorous mathematical detail when explaining image processing
and GIS techniques, to enable students to grasp the essentials of a
notoriously challenging subject area.
The book is clearly divided into three parts, with the first
part introducing essential image processing techniques for remote
sensing. The second part looks at GIS and begins with an overview
of the concepts, structures and mechanisms by which GIS operates.
Finally the third part introduces Remote Sensing Applications.
Throughout the book the relationships between GIS, Image Processing
and Remote Sensing are clearly identified to ensure that students
are able to apply the various techniques that have been covered
appropriately. The latter chapters use numerous relevant case
studies to illustrate various remote sensing, image processing and
GIS applications in practice.
