Product Description
This book is a tutorial that will enable readers to become proficient with the use of image data in projects using geographical information systems (GIS). It begins with an introduction to image display, scanned maps, and remotely sensed imagery. Subsequent chapters focus on transforming pixel coordinates to real-world coordinates, image classification, classification accuracy assessment, and grid operations. The books practical, hands-on approach facilitates rapid learning of how to process remotely sensed images, digital orthophotos, digital elevation models, and scanned maps, and how to integrate them with points, lines, and polygon themes. The companion CD-ROM includes files, images, and data sets employed in exercises throughout the book. (Keywords: GIS Applications)
Customer Reviews & Comments The book covers lots of ground... scanning density, grayscale versus binary versus color tradeoffs, getting scans to real-world coordinates, image enhancement, digital elevation models, image rectification, raster editing, etc. Finally, I now understand exactly what is going on in the image rectification process! I liked the idea of documentation files...tips like that have saved my butt many times...
