Neurocomputation in Remote Sensing Data Analysis, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 1997
Proceedings of Concerted Action COMPARES (Connectionist Methods for Pre-Processing and Analysis of Remote Sensing Data)

A state-of-the-art view of recent developments in the use of artificial neural networks for analysing remotely sensed satellite data. Neural networks, as a new form of computational paradigm, appear well suited to many of the tasks involved in this image analysis. This book demonstrates a wide range of uses of neural networks for remote sensing applications and reports the views of a large number of European experts brought together as part of a concerted action supported by the European Commission.
