    Chapter 8 Image Processing Systems

    8.1 Image Processing in Remote Sensing


    Remotely sensed data are usually digital image data. Therefore data processing in remote sensing is
    dominantly treated as digital image processing.
    Figure 8.1.1 shows the data flow in remote sensing. Figure 8.1.2 shows the major data processing techniques
    in remote sensing.
    (1) Input data
    There are two data sources; analog data and digital data. Digital data, for example multispectral scanner data,
    is converted from HDDT (high density digital tape) to CCT (computer compatible tape) for ease of computer
    analysis. Analog data for example, film must be digitized by an image scanner or drum scanner into digital
    image data.
    (2) Reconstruction / Correction
    Reconstruction, restoration and/or correction of radiometry and geometry should be undertaken in the
    process of preprocessing.
    (3) Transformation
    Image enhancement, spatial and geometric transformation and/or data compression is normally required to
    generate a thematic map or database.
    (4) Classification
    Image features are categorized, which is called labeling in image processing, using those techniques of
    learning, classification, segmentation and/or matching.
    (5) Output
    There are two output methods; analog output such as film or color copy, and digital output in the form of a
    database, which is usually used as one of the layers of geographic data in GIS (geographic information
    system).
