The main objective of this book is to provide a common platform for diverse concepts in satellite image processing. In particular it presents the state-of-the-art in Artificial Intelligence (AI) methodologies and shares findings that can be translated into real-time applications to benefit humankind. Interdisciplinary in its scope, the book will be of interest to both newcomers and experienced scientists working in the fields of satellite image processing, geo-engineering, remote sensing and Artificial Intelligence. It can be also used as a supplementary textbook for graduate students in various engineering branches related to image processing.
