Summary

Despite the importance of image registration to data integration and fusion in many fields, there are only a few books dedicated to the topic. None of the current, available books treats exclusively image registration of Earth (or space) satellite imagery. This is the first book dedicated fully to this discipline. The book surveys and presents various algorithmic approaches and applications of image registration in remote sensing. Although there are numerous approaches to the problem of registration, no single and clear solution stands out as a standard in the field of remote sensing, and the problem remains open for new, innovative approaches, as well as careful, systematic integration of existing methods. This book is intended to bring together a number of image registration approaches for study and comparison, so remote sensing scientists can review existing methods for application to their problems, and researchers in image registration can review remote sensing applications to understand how to improve their algorithms. The book contains invited contributions by many of the best researchers in the field, including contributions relating the experiences of several Earth science research teams working with operational software on imagery from major Earth satellite systems. Such systems include the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR), Landsat, MODerate resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MODIS), Satellite Pour l'Observation de la Terre (SPOT), VEGETATION, Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR), METEOSAT, and the Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS).
