Nowadays computing or information processing has become popular both literally and metaphorically for conceptualizing all sorts of scientific processes, from information-theoretic approaches in neuroscience to advances in quantum information theory and DNA computing.
The latter contains 16 chapters by 43 international academics and researchers on advanced topics of image processing in remote sensing including image modeling, statistical image classifiers, change detection, independent component analysis, vertex component analysis, image fusion for better classification or segmentation, 2-D time series modeling, neural network classifications, and accuracy assessment and information-theoretic measure of multiband images.
