Present Status of Image Processing and Analysis of Remote Sensing Data Using a Personal Computer

Abstract

The Technical Commitee of Data Processing of the Remote Sensing Society of Japan conducted the survey on the present state of the art of image processing and analysis techniques of remote sensing data using a personal computer, for the aid of practical use of a personal computer system for remote sensing data applications. The survey was continued from January to September in 1986, and, finally, this report was edited according to the result of the survey and the discussion by the editorial members of the commitee. The survey was conducted based on the papers presented at the Japanese Conference on Remote Sensing by the Remote Sensing Society of Japan, and the report summarized the present status and the future direction on theree major items, hardware system, software system and system applications.
