Remote Sensing and Image Interpretation Posted on August 16, 2004 Remote Sensing and Image Interpretation - From recent developments in digital image processing to the next generation of satellite systems, this book provides a comprehensive introduction to the field of remote sensing and image interpretation. This book is discipline neutral, so readers in any field of study can gain a clear understanding of these systems and their virtually unlimited applications. - by Thomas M. Lillesand, Ralph W. Kiefer, Jonathan W. Chipman Available from Amazon USA or Amazon UK
Physical Principles of Remote Sensing Posted on August 15, 2004 Physical Principles of Remote Sensing - Substantially revised and expanded, this new edition includes a discussion of the radiative transfer equation, atmospheric sounding techniques and interferometric radar, an expanded list of problems (with solutions), and a discussion of the Global Positioning System (GPS). This book forms the basis of an introductory course in remote sensing. The main readership will be students and researchers in remote sensing, geography, cartography, surveying, meteorology, earth sciences and environmental sciences generally, as well as physicists, mathematicians and engineers. - by W. G. Rees Available from Amazon or Amazon UK
Practical Handbook of Spatial Statistics Posted on August 14, 2004 Practical Handbook of Spatial Statistics - The guidance and special techniques provided in this handbook will allow you to understand and use complex spatial statistical techniques. You will learn how to apply proper spatial analysis techniques and why they are generally different from conventional statistical analyses. Clear and concise information on weighting, aggregation effects, sampling, spatial statistics and GIS, and visualization of spatial dependence is provided. Discussions on specific applications using actual data sets fill obvious gaps in the literature, and coverage of critical research frontiers allows readers to explore current areas of active research - by Sandra Lach Arlinghaus, et al Available from Amazon or Amazon UK
Geographically Weighted Regression Posted on August 12, 2004 Geographically Weighted Regression : The Analysis of Spatially Varying Relationships - - Geographically Weighted Regression, as part of a broader research area in local modelling, provides a new analytical tool and a different perspective on spatial analysis. Instead of being restricted to simple global analyses in which interesting local variations in relationships are 'averaged away' and unobservable, GWR allows local relationships to be measured and mapped. In many ways the output from GWR is similar to that presented by a microscope: previously unimagined detail suddenly comes into focus. This book challenges many of the global statements of spatial relationships that have been made in the academic literature. Available from Amazon or Amazon UK
