Space Image Processing

Space Image Processing covers the design and coding of PC software for processing and manipulating imagery obtained by satellites and other spacecraft. Although the contents relate to several scientific and technological fields, it serves as a programming book, providing readers with essential technical information for developing PC applications. The material focuses on images of the planets and other celestial bodies obtained by orbiting and non-orbiting spacecraft. The book comes with a CD-ROM that holds the source code and programs discussed in the text, a demo version of the TM-Lab program, a Thematic Mapper scene, two space image viewers, and sample images.
