The ease of coding it should be independent of the number of values you are working with if you are using a software capable of matrix multiplication like MATLAB. I've coded it manually in R, largely because I find the pre-written packages poorly notated—it's not too difficult.
> What book could I refer for just the basic introduction to Kriging?
This is a good introduction, I've found. It seems to come from this book.
Hey, this is my professor and this article is about 2 years old.
Here's her TEDtalk. She's pretty much the coolest person in the world.
Here's her book on the matter.
If you use 3/4 Nyquist it is indeed correct that it won't be monotonic - this is the weakness of single points on the curve of a function trying to convey all of the necessary information. On the other hand, if you're curious what's going on at very fine scales - the place to look /is/ what's going on near Nyquist. Even if there are nonidealities. And you can design a metric that glosses those over, for example integrating between (say) 3/4 and Nyquist, which would be much better conditioned. The wider the bandwidth the better conditioned it is, until you just end up at SQF.
If you want to capture "sharpness," it really is optimal to just use SQF. Perceptual sharpness was simply figured out a long time ago. Hultgren's modified SQF is superior to the original, in my opinion.
The more complicated behavior I can't help you with (perhaps look in my two reference books on this topic...)

Composites of smear and jitter are easy to model (even multiple smears) - just convolve several jitters or smears together with the .conv syntax. If you want to learn prysm, I would recommend keeping an eye on the v0.17 release notes. This release is due in the next little while (a few weeks, probably) and will break a lot of way the library was used in <= v0.16 to reduce the amount of vocabulary you need to know to use the library.
Remote sensing and image interpretation is a good read and a great addition to an office bookshelf. Dated in that some better stuff isn't there but a lot of it still holds relevant today

You could probably find a better price or another source googling around
Congrats on joining neuro! I think I know where you work (what can I say, there aren't a lot of neurologist using that type of magnet in Canada), but reddit is anonymous so I'll leave it at that.
So I actually use an outpatient imaging facility called Animal Scan. They have human trained MR techs run the magnet. After working with both vet techs trained by their docs and human MR trained techs, I can tell you that the training that they have makes a huge difference. My MR tech can do things with that magnet that I didn't know where possible. So the real answer is, to be really really good, you probably would have to do all of that course work (which I think takes 1 to 2 years)
That being said you are in a very common situation. Hopefully as the new neuro tech certification gets off the ground we can work on a specific CE for you guys.
I haven't read it, but I hear good things about this book: http://www.amazon.com/Rad-Techs-Guide-MRI-Instrumentation/dp/0632045051/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1373753133&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=mri+tech
And I have a question for you: how do you like that magnet? Ever had a critter (like a big dog T spine) that wouldn't fit in it? How long does it take you to scan a large dog TL? There are lots off rumors about that magnet, but I have yet to talk to someone who actually runs one.

gg 'community'.
I agree, you really can't learn structure determination from a book. I second talking to someone with more experience. Another book you may want to look at is by Stout, it's the one I used in grad school. Check the library, it's godawful expensive on Amazon.
or Cressie and WIkle or Banerjee/Carlin/Gelfand.
Well, to come up with my own shorthand definition or contrast of the two, Remote sensing is obtaining or creating data through indirect means of instrument-based measurement while GIS may do some of that but is much more the analysis and processing of said data into useful information and derivative products.
You are correct that fire mapping might make heavy use of both, but there still might be specific position or roles. A drone operator might not touch GIS for much more than AOI (are of interest) and flight path definition. Someone doing fuels mapping based on multi or hyper spectral imagery might spend the majority of their time in non-GIS software, only using GIS to generate some outputs or again with the AOI. A GIS analyst might take some of that information with other sources and then look at how many homes are at what risk, or determine evactuation routes, or just generate maps with boundaries and other information - never touching raw remote sensing beyond maybe some imagery.
This is the textbook from my intro to remote sensing class and this and this are two similar '100 level' books for GIS. You might see if you can find a copy in a local library to take a look at, as even just skimming available chapters and the chapter overviews would give you a fairly in-depth idea of what the differences are. I think if you pick a couple of certificate and degree programs, and then look at the course summaries for what's required you might get an idea of how those tracks differ. I would think you would also have some contacts within your organization you could talk with as far as getting an idea of which skillset is needed for what with how they do things.
