Remote Sensing And Cognition Human Factors In Image Interpretation (Hb 2018) Hardcover

Human factors are essential in the design and interpretation of remotely sensed imagery in Earth sciences. Remote Sensing and Cognition: Human Factors in Image Interpretation compiles current discussions on human cognition in geographic and remote sensing imagery, particularly those dealing with complex data. The book explores topics such as expertise, including knowledge elicitation methods and expertise modeling, the impact of realism on environmental interpretation, spatial learning with imagery, the role of visual perspective, and various technologies and methods for leveraging knowledge in analyzing remote sensing data. Written by experts in the field, the book addresses key questions at the intersection of psychology and remote sensing. It serves as a valuable resource for academics and researchers interested in the human aspects of using remote sensing data. The book's topics are valuable not only for scientific analysis of remote sensing images but also for the design and display of these images for tasks like education and wayfinding.
