SATELLITE MONITORING OF THE EARTH
Karl-Heinz Szekielda
This book offers a synopsis of state-of-the-art use of satellite technology for monitoring the earth. It is also designed to be an introduction to satellite remote sensing by covering, in a multidisciplinary approach, the different applications of remote sensing. It examines the different platforms (satellites) and selected sensors which have been flown to date, discusses atmospheric considerations to demonstrate the problems encountered in the use of satellite observations, and provides a detailed description of the spectral signatures of objects to clarify the interpretative data referred to throughout the book. Includes numerous satellite images, figures, tables, and a comprehensive bibliography to enhance learning and understanding. 1989 (0471-61330-4) 326 pp.

Since the publication of the original edition of Digital Image Processing thirteen years ago, there have been significant theoretical advances In the field. Also, major progress has been made in Image processing Implementation techniques resulting In faster and less expensive processors. These factors have led to an explosion of applications during the last decade. The Second Edition of Digital Image Processing reflects this dramatic growth period.
The book is presented In five parts. Part 1 characterizes continuous Images, covering the mathematical representation of continuous Images, the psychophysical properties of human vision, and photometry and colorimetry. Part 2 explores Image sampling and quantization techniques along with the mathematical representation of discrete images. Part 3 discusses two-dimensional signal processing techniques, Including general linear operators, pseudoinverse operators, superposition and convolution operators, and unitary transforms such as the Fourier, Hadamard, and Karhunen-Loeve transforms. This section of the bool< also analyzes and compares linear processing techniques implemented by direct convolution and Fourier domain filtering.
Parts 4 and 5 concentrate on the two principal application areas of Image processing. Part 4 presents a discussion of image enhancement and restoration techniques, while Part 5 concentrates on the extraction of information from an image. Specific topics Include morphological image processing, edge detection. Image feature extraction, Image segmentation, object shape analysis, and object detection.
The Second Edition is an extensive revision of the first edition. Over 50% of the material Is new or revised, and much of the new material covers image analysis, an area of the field in

which significant breakthroughs In research have been made. Overall, Digital Image Processing provides encyclopedic coverage of this vital field. It gathers technological concepts from a variety of sources and describes them in a coherent, well-organized style.
