"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.
