book review by H. deKlerk
“The book is brilliant – a real gem. It contains some of the best descriptions I’ve seen of planning a GIS/RS research project, steps to follow, statistics and approaches used in species modelling and remote sensing classification. […] I’m definitely going to...
book finally in store
Our book “Remote Sensing and GIS for Ecologists – Using Open Source software” is now available. First copies arrived and it looks pretty good. Great to have finally a copy on our desks after all the writing, testing and editing! We hope that you enjoy it as much as we...
updated RStoolbox version 0.1.4
The RStoolbox R package has been updated after some testing in courses and by colleagues. Please update your package using update.packages() or install the RStoolbox again. New functions are: new function `validateMap()` for assessing map accuracy separately from...
First copies arrived
The first copy of our book arrived today and it looks pretty good. Great to have finally a copy on our desks after all the writing, testing and editing! We hope that you enjoy it as much as we do and that it helps you to work with remote sensing and GIS in your research topics.
Updated graphics for Change Vector Analysis
We explained in Chapter 9 among other change detection methods also the change vector analysis practically using the rasterCVA() command in the RStoolbox package, as well as outlined the approach graphically.

final electronic proof
We received the final electronic proof of our book "Remote Sensing and GIS for Ecologists - Using Open Source software". The printed versions of our book should be available soon and we are very much looking forward to it. The publisher is still offering 20% discount...
book soon available – discount for pre-orders
Our book “Remote Sensing and GIS for Ecologists – Using Open Source software” will soon be available. We worked through the 3rd proof and fixed all remaining issues. Looking forward to the printed version. The book offers a great overview of Remote Sensing...
Update: R spatial handling cheatsheet
We updated our cheatsheet on spatial data handling in R. Beside some minor changes of common raster commands we also added now some of the new RStoolbox commands within a Remote Sensing operations section such as the command for supervised classification, fractional...
