Classification Methods for Remotely Sensed Data

Professor Taskin Kavzoglu is a senior researcher in remote sensing with more than 25 years of research experience in Earth observation/remote sensing. He has published more than 150 papers in peer-reviewed journals and international conference proceedings. He received his M.Sc. in Geographical Information Systems and Ph.D. in Remote Sensing from Nottingham University, UK. Currently, he is a professor at Gebze Technical University, Turkey and a member of Turkish Academy of Sciences. He was awarded an ESRI project award in 2019 and best paper award by American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS) in 2020. He currently serves on the editorial boards of several international journals. Dr. Brandt Tso is a retired scientist in Taiwan. He received his Ph.D. degree from the School of Geography, The University of Nottingham, U.K., under the supervision of Professor Paul M. Mather. In 2003, Dr. Tso was a postdoctoral fellow at the Remote Sensing Laboratory, Physics Department, Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, California, U.S.A. Dr. Tso was an associate professor in the information science department, Management College, National Defense University, Taiwan. He has published numerous research papers. Professor Paul M. Mather (Deceased) graduated from the University of Cambridge in 1966 and in 1969 received his Ph.D. from The University of Nottingham, UK. where he continued as a lecturer, senior lecturer, and full professor from 1988 until he retired in 2006 as an Emeritus Professor. He received the Back Award from the Royal Geographical Society for his work in remote sensing in 1992, and in 2002 was awarded the Order of the British Empire (OBE) by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II for services to remote sensing. He lectured in a number of countries around the world.
