Remote Sensing and Cognition: Human Factors in Image Interpretation (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780367571788)

Raechel Bianchetti received her doctoral degree from the Pennsylvania State University. Her doctoral research explored the cognitive processes and knowledge that facilitate remote sensing image interpretation and the use of geovisual analytic approaches to facilitate insight generation from imagery. Prior to that, she studied remote sensing at the University of Idaho for a variety of physical science applications including geological mapping on Mars and forests in Idaho.

Robert R. Hoffman, Ph.D. is a Senior Research Scientist, IHMC, Pensacola FL. Hoffman is a recognized world leader in cognitive systems engineering, Expertise Studies, and Human-Centered Computing. He is a Fellow of the Association for Psychological Science, Fellow of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, Senior Member of the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence, and a Fulbright Scholar. He has been Principal Investigator, Co-Principal Investigator, Principal Scientist, Senior Research Scientist, Principal Author, or Principle Subcontractor on over 60 grants and contracts totaling nearly $12M. He has led efforts including large, multi-partner, multi-year grant collaborations, contracted alliances of university and private sector partners, and multi-university research initiatives. His Ph.D. is in experimental psychology from the University of Cincinnati, where he received McMicken Scholar, Psi Chi, and Delta Tau Kappa Honors. Following a Postdoctoral Associateship at the Center for Research on Human Learning at the University of Minnesota, he joined the faculty of the Institute for Advanced Psychological Studies at Adelphi University. He pioneered the study of methods for eliciting the knowledge of domain experts. Hoffman has been recognized internationally in psychology, remote sensing, human factors engineering, and artificial intelligence--for his research on the psychology of expertise, the methodology of cognitive task analysis, HCC issues for intelligent systems technology, and the design of cognitive work systems. Hoffman is a Co-Editor for the Department on Human-Centered Computing in IEEE: Intelligent Systems. He is Editor for the book Series, "Expertise: Research and Applications." He was a co-founder of The Journal of Cognitive Engineering and Decision Making.
