- Summary
- Processing Digital Images is ideal for professionals and students who wish to become quickly proficient in the use of image data projects using geographical information systems (GIS). The book begins with an introduction to image display, scanned maps, and remotely sensed imagery. Subsequent chapters focus on transforming from pixel to real world coordinates, image classification, classification accuracy assessment, and grid operations. The book's 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. Tutorials based on ARC/INFO 7.x and the Spatial Analyst extension of ArcView GIS 3.x by the Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) are presented throughout the book.
