Abstract

In many applications of environmental modeling it makes sense to process images, to read them into a MATLAB® figure for certain types of processing. In some applications it is necessary to process the images themselves. Satellite images for example contain information about some environmental variables. The distribution of botanical and sometimes also of zoological species within a geographical area can be determined by a computational algorithm based on images. Infrared images are used as they contain information about the temperature distribution.
