Myers W.L., Patil G.P. Pattern-Based Compression of Multi-Band Image Data for Landscape Analysis

Springer, 2006. — 208 p. — (Environmental and Ecological Statistics). — ISBN: 0387444343, 0387444394, 9780387444345, 9780387444390This book describes an integrated approach to using remotely sensed data in conjunction with geographic information systems for landscape analysis. Remotely sensed data are compressed into an analytical image-map that is compatible with the most popular geographic information systems as well as freeware viewers. The approach is most effective for landscapes that exhibit a pronounced mosaic pattern of land cover.Innovative Imaging, Parsing Patterns and Motivating Models
