Mặc dù có những tiến bộ trong công nghệ xử lý thông tin, vẫn còn một vai trò cần thiết và quan trọng "của con người trong vòng lặp" trong việc giải thích viễn thám hình ảnh nonliteral, trong các lĩnh vực bao gồm cả khoa học hành tinh, khoa học trái đất, khí tượng, và Về phía thông tin công nghệ, máy trạm và hệ thống hiển thị đóng một vai trò quan trọng trong việc hỗ trợ khoa học trực quan, và trong những năm gần đây nó đã trở thành công nhận rộng rãi trực quan của dữ liệu phức tạp là. | Preface Creation of this book has been a labor of love but a labor indeed. The first and highest hurdle stemmed from the simple fact that the main topic of this volume human factors in the interpretation of remote sensing imagery is truly interdisciplinary. Dealing as this volume does with psychological aspects of remote sensing perception conceptualization expertise it would seem that some sort of venue in experimental psychology would be most appropriate. But the volume s focus on the domain of remote sensing makes it seem distant from the topics that are close to the heart of mainstream psychology. Conversely dealing with psychological aspects of remote sensing makes this volume seem distant from the traditional concerns of mainstream remote sensing. In remote sensing whenever the term interpretation is used it is taken as a reference to automated methods for image analysis. We are very pleased to have found a receptive ear at Lewis Publishers CRC Press. The psychological factors in remote sensing are abundantly clear. I became aware of them some 20 years ago when physicist friend Dr. Walter Carnahan of Indiana State University demonstrated his project on thermography. How were the colors assigned to the temperatures How can you tell that that green blob is a house that needs better insulation Clearly the then-new field of remote sensing was ripe for the analytical eye of the experimental psychologist. The first step was to pursue training acquired with the support of the . Army Corps of Engineers which just happened to need an experimental psychologist to help determine how to elicit expert knowledge for the creation of expert systems for aerial photointerpretation. Psychological factors including knowledge experience and perception quickly manifested themselves as important considerations. There was no research base of studies on how experts interpret images how the color codings for nonliteral imagery are devised etc. The editors of this volume came .
