Image Warping Among Arbitrary Planar Shapes
Image warping refers to the 2D resampling of a source image onto a target image. Despite the variety of techniques proposed, a large class of image warping problems remains inadequately solved: mapping between two images which are delimited by arbitrary, closed, planar curves, e.g., hand-drawn curves. This paper describes a novel algorithm to perform image warping among arbitrary planar shapes whose boundary correspondences are known. A generalized polar coordinate parameterization is introduced to facilitate an efficient mapping procedure. Images are treated as collections of interior layers, extracted via a thinning process. Mapping these layers between the source and target images generates the 2D resampling grid that defines the warping. The thinning operation extends the standard polar coordinate representation to deal with arbitrary shapes

Geometric Transformation Techniques for Digital Images: A Survey
This survey presents a wide collection of algorithms for the geometric transformation of digital images. Efficient image transformation algorithms are critically important to the remote sensing, medical imaging, computer vision, and computer graphics communities. We review the growth of this field and compare all the described algorithms. Since this subject is interdisciplinary, emphasis is placed on the unification of the terminology, motivation, and contributions of each technique to yield a single coherent framework. This paper attempts to serve a dual role as a survey and a tutorial. It is comprehensive in scope and detailed in style. The primary focus centers on the three components that comprise all geometric transformations: spatial transformations, resampling, and antialiasing. In addition, considerable attention is directed to the dramatic progress made in the development of separable algorithms. The text is supplemented with numerous examples and an extensive bibliography
Earth Resources, A Continuing Bibliography with Indexes
This bibliography lists 460 reports, articles and other documents introduced into the NASA scientific and technical information system between July 1 and September 30, 1984. Emphasis is placed on the use of remote sensing and geophysical instrumentation in spacecraft and aircraft to survey and inventory natural resources and urban areas. Subject matter is grouped according to agriculture and forestry, environmental changes and cultural resources, geodesy and cartography, geology and mineral resources, hydrology and water management, data processing and distribution systems, instrumentation and sensors, and economical analysis
Remote sensing data handbook
A digest of information on remote sensor data systems is given. It includes characteristics of spaceborne sensors and the supportive systems immediately associated therewith. It also includes end-to-end systems information that will assist the user in appraising total data system impact produced by a sensor. The objective is to provide a tool for anticipating the complexity of systems and potential data system problems as new user needs are generated. Materials in this handbook span sensor systems from the present to those planned for use in the 1990's. Sensor systems on all planned missions are presented in digest form, condensed from data as available at the time of compilation. Projections are made of anticipated systems
