Editorial Reviews

Considers the role of psychological factors in the interpretation of remotely sensed non-literal imagery. The collection addresses the cognitive issues of learning, perception, expertise, and mental workload; the applied issues of display design, interface design, and software design; and the practitioner's issues of workstation design, human performance, and training. Topics of the eight chapters include the communication of topographic perspectives and forms, the psychophysics of night vision goggles, human perception of sensor- fused imagery, and the skilled interpretation of weather satellite images. The book provides 18 color images. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
