| Abstract: | The potential of remotely sensed imagery for Earth science applications has been widely recognised for many years. However,
with the advent of space borne sensors, a totally new perspective from which to view the Earth's surface has been available
to such disciplines as geology and geography. Primary in this development was the deployment of the Landsat series of Earth
observation satellites with their multispectral scanning capability. Although standard single band imagery and false-colour
composites contain much geomorphological detail, a great deal more information can be extracted from the digital output of
such scanners if the data is subjected to computer-assisted image processing. |
