Interest in remote sensing applications and platforms has grown dramatically in recent years. This leading-edge reference surveys the latest results in the field of compression of remote sensing 3D data, with a focus on hyperspectral imagery. Unique in scope in this emerging research area, the book will be essential for industrial and academic researchers working in the fields of multi-dimensional data compression, remote sensing, military and aerospace image processing, homeland security, archival of large volumes of scientific and medical data, image classification, and target detection.
HYPERSPECTRAL DATA COMPRESSION presents the most recent results in the field of compression of remote sensing 3D data, with a focus on multispectral and hyperspectral imagery. This book is essential for researchers working across related fields including: multi-dimensional data compression, multispectral and hyperspectral data archives, remote sensing, scientific image processing, military and aerospace image processing, image segmentation, image classification, and target detection.
From the reviews:
"Motta, Rizzo, and Storer ? are veterans in the field of data compression, both individually and collaboratively. They bring together a concentrated set of contributed papers, focusing on compressing hyperspectral (multidimensional) data. ? This compendium describes cutting-edge compression technology, and is sure to occupy an important position in the current literature of the field. The editors have accomplished their goal of making this technology available to the educational and industrial communities." (R. Goldberg, Computing Reviews, Vol. 50 (1), January, 2009)
