Summary:

This book is the most comprehensive documentation of the scientific and methodological advances that have taken place in integrating scale in remote sensing and GIS. It prevents new developments in the overall concept of scale within the purview of the "science of scale" for multispatial, multitemporal, and multispectral data, including spatial modeling. It discusses future trends in the integration of remote sensing and GIS in relation to new Earth observation remote sensing platforms and instruments to be launched in the near future. Presents state-of-the-art details on analysis of new NASA Earth observation satellite data, Demonstrates new developments in the concept of scale within the purview of mulitspatial, multitemporal, and multispectral data, Explains scale as an essential, key issue in remote sensing and GIS analyses, Forecasts future trends in the integration of remote sensing and GIS.
