ABSTRACT

In Chapter 6, we discussed data acquisition and storage. In remote sensing the data assemblage can be astronomical by large. It is not difficult to acquire volumes of data without an understanding of their significance. How do we glean significance from a vast volume of data? What are the significant variables? How great are the notable effects? Do we need more data, and if so, of what sort? How good are the present data? How do we present them? These are a few of the questions to be asked.
