TL;DR

Aerial and satellite imagery provide an economical means of gathering large amounts of data on the earth's resources and environment, but except in the area of survey tasks that can be performed with multispectral analysis, there are few economically feasible techniques for automatically extracting the useful information from such imagery.

Abstract

Aerial and satellite imagery provide an economical means of gathering large amounts of data on the earth's resources and environment. However, except in the area of survey tasks such as crop inventories and land use that can be performed with multispectral analysis, there are few economically feasible techniques for automatically extracting the useful information from such imagery.
