High Performance Computing in Remote Sensing

　　One of the first volumes to explore state-of-the-art HPC techniques in the context of remote sensing problems, this book focuses on the computational complexity of algorithms that are designed for parallel computing and processing. It addresses key computing concepts and developments in remote sensing and covers application areas not necessarily related to remote sensing, such as multimedia and video processing. Each chapter illustrates a specific parallel computing paradigm, including multiprocessor (cluster-based) systems, large-scale and heterogeneous networks of computers, grid computing platforms, and specialized hardware architectures for remotely sensed data analysis and interpretation.
