Images received from Earth-orbiting satellites have a wide variety of applications, ranging from forestry to urban development, and are rapidly becoming a significant source of geographic information. The acquisition of geographic information from space is a revolution comparable with the invention of map-making and this book describes a new way of looking at our planet. It addresses the basic problems of transforming satellite data into a precise geographical reference system (known as geocoding), and explores the many uses of the data.
