Spatial Statistics for Remote Sensing

This book treats statistical issues that are of relevance inspatial studies for remote sensing. It consists of contributions byinternational experts in this field. A brief overview of basicstatistics is given, followed by physical aspects of remote sensing.Spatial statistics addresses classification of images by supervisedand unsupervised procedures, estimation of spatial structures byvariograms, interpolation, simulation, sampling and issues of scale.Geographical information systems allow the integration of remotesensing with other sources of information, concentrating on theconcept of the pixel. Attention is also given to decision support fora wide variety of possible and important decisions. A single data setis used throughout the book. This book therefore provides an overviewof the state of the art of spatial statistics for remote sensing, highlighting new frontiers in this rapidly developing field ofscience.Stein, Alfred is the author of 'Spatial Statistics for Remote Sensing' with ISBN 9781402005510 and ISBN 1402005512.
