Space image processing

by Julio Sanchez

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 planet and other celestial bodies obtained by orbiting and non-orbiting spacecraft. Space Image Processing includes a CD-ROM holding all the source code and programs discussed in the text. The CD contains a version of the TM-Lab program, a public domain Thematic Mapper scene of the Grand Canyon area, space image viewers, and sample images.
