Image Analysis, Classification and Change Detection in Remote Sensing: With Algorithms for Python, Fourth Edition - Hardcover

Críticas

"The book presents a comprehensive exposition of the pixel based image analysis tools needed in a variety of remote sensing applications. It is the fourth edition of a book that first appeared in 2007. This rather rapid transition from one edition to the next is propelled by a parallel development in image analysis theory, in remote sensing platforms and advances in open source tools...The author has managed to encompass the relevant parts of this development in the present edition."

Reseña del editor

Image Analysis, Classification and Change Detection in Remote Sensing: With Algorithms for Python, Fourth Edition, is focused on the development and implementation of statistically motivated, data-driven techniques for digital image analysis of remotely sensed imagery and it features a tight interweaving of statistical and machine learning theory of algorithms with computer codes. It develops statistical methods for the analysis of optical/infrared and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery, including wavelet transformations, kernel methods for nonlinear classification, as well as an introduction to deep learning in the context of feed forward neural networks.

• An in-depth treatment of a recent sequential change detection algorithm for polarimetric SAR image time series.
• The accompanying software consists of Python (open source) versions of all of the main image analysis algorithms.
• Presents easy, platform-independent software installation methods (Docker containerization).
• Utilizes freely accessible imagery via the Google Earth Engine and provides many examples of cloud programming (Google Earth Engine API).
• Examines deep learning examples including TensorFlow and a sound introduction to neural networks,

Based on the success and the reputation of the previous editions and compared to other textbooks in the market, Professor Canty’s fourth edition differs in the depth and sophistication of the material treated as well as in its consistent use of computer codes to illustrate the methods and algorithms discussed. It is self-contained and illustrated with many programming examples, all of which can be conveniently run in a web browser. Each chapter concludes with exercises complementing or extending the material in the text.
