Quantitative data extraction and analysis of remote sensor images

The volume of data generated by remote sensing systems rapidly is exceeding the capability of trained image interpreters to reduce the data into needed information. The Earth Resources Technology Satellite alone generates numerous images of 10,000 square mile areas in a single year. Sophisticated computer interpretation techniques are considered as one possible solution to this problem. The preceding chapter discussed various elements of traditional human photo-interpretation. In this chapter, Simonett treats statistical and computer techniques for extracting quantitative information from remote sensing data. Comparisons are made between simple and complex procedures for data extraction. The conceptual and pragmatic considerations involved in the various procedures for enhancing, precessing, and outputting data are discussed and evaluated. Chapters 2 and 3 provide the background information on technological aspects of remote sensing, from which framework it will be possible for the reader to understand more fully the earth science applications that follow in succeeding chapters
