About this book
The fifth edition of this core textbook in advanced remote sensing continues to maintain its emphasis on statistically motivated, data-driven techniques for remote sensing image analysis. The theoretical substance remains essentially the same, with new material on convolutional neural networks, transfer learning, image segmentation, random forests, and an extended implementation of sequential change detection with radar satellites. The tools which apply the algorithms to real remote sensing data are brought thoroughly up to date. As these software tools have evolved substantially with time, the fifth edition replaces the now obsolete Python 2 with Python 3 and takes advantage of the high-level packages that are based on it, such as Colab, TensorFlow/KERAS, Scikit-Learn, and the Google Earth Engine Python API. New in the Fifth Edition: Thoroughly revised to include the updates needed in all chapters because of the necessary changes to the software. Replaces Python 2 with Python 3 tools and updates all associated subroutines, Jupyter notebooks and Python scripts. Presents easy, platform-independent software installation methods with Docker containers. Each chapter concludes with exercises complementing or extending the material in the text. Utilizes freely accessible imagery via the Google Earth Engine and provides many examples of cloud programming (Google Earth Engine API). Examines deep learning examples including TensorFlow and a sound introduction to neural networks. This
