Plate 12 Images showing combinations of data display with error for three dimensions: (a) vertical cuts through the data to display predicted values along the cut in combination with glyphs showing prediction error; (b) isosurfaces in combination with the glyphs showing cross-validation error.

Plate 13 This image shows a bivariate mapping scheme from RVIS that uses saturation to represent uncertainty and lightness to represent the data. (Source: MacEachran et al 1993)

Plate 21 Comparison between a standard (i.e. multi-spectral) false-colour composite covering an area of arable farmland (a), and four single-band, multiple view angle (MVA) false-colour composite images of the same site (b–e). The MVA composites have each been constructed using data acquired in a single spectral waveband – (b) green, (c) red, (d) near-infrared, (e) middle-infrared – but at three different sensor view angles (two opposing oblique angles, plus nadir). The images show the potential value of directional (angular) reflectance data for distinguishing Earth surface materials. (Source: Barnsley et al 1997a)

Plate 22 Multi-spectral false-colour composite image comprising data from near-infrared, red and green wavebands. These data were acquired by an airborne scanner over Orpington in the London Borough of Bromley. The spatial resolution of these data is approximately 2 metres. The figure illustrates the type of data that will be available from the new generation of very high spatial resolution, commercial satellite sensors.
