"Automating the Analysis of Spatial Grids" is a specialized book that focuses on the development of automated algorithms for processing raster-based spatial data. Given the increasing volume and frequency of remote sensing data, the ability to create automated applications for analysis and pattern recognition in geospatial data is crucial. This book is aimed at students and provides a solid introduction to the topics of digital image processing and data mining as applied to geospatial datasets. Readers will be empowered to develop and implement automated techniques to extract information from spatial grids such as radar, satellite, or high-resolution survey data. It is a valuable resource for professionals and students in fields such as business, social sciences, ecology, meteorology, and urban planning.
