Spatial Big Data Science: Classification Techniques for Earth Observation Imagery

Emerging Spatial Big Data (SBD) has transformative potential in solving many grand societal challenges such as water resource management, food security, disaster response, and transportation. However, significant computational challenges exist in analyzing SBD due to the unique spatial characteristics including spatial auorrelation, anisotropy, heterogeneity, multiple scales and resolutions which is illustrated in this book.

This book also discusses current techniques for, spatial big data...
