Book excerpt: Geographical Information Systems (GIS) are computer systems for storing, displaying and analyzing spatial data. The past twenty years have seen a rapid growth in their use in government, commerce and academia, and they can be used for managing a network of utilities, from handling census data through to planning the location of a new supermarket. But how do they work? Stephen Wise has been a regular contributor to GeoEurope and his 'Back to Basics' articles have provided a clear and simple introduction to the inner workings of GIS for a non-specialist audience. He now presents the original articles with new material and provides a new coverage of both major types of GIS: vector and raster systems. Undergraduates and professionals who wish to improve their knowledge of GIS should get a better understanding of how GIS operate in the way that they do, such as how spatial data is stored on a computer, how the different methods affect the capabilities of the GIS, how basic operations performed and how the choice of algorithm affects the speed of the system.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With GIS technology increasingly available to a wider audience on devices from apps on smartphones to satnavs in cars, many people routinely use spatial data in a way which used to be the preserve of GIS specialists. However spatial data is stored and analyzed on a computer still tends to be described in academic texts and articles which require specialist knowledge or some training in computer science. Developed to introduce computer science literature to geography students, GIS Fundamentals, Second Edition provides an accessible examination of the underlying principles for anyone with no formal training in computer science. See What’s New in the Second Edition: Coverage of the use of spatial data on the Internet Chapters on databases and on searching large databases for spatial queries Improved coverage on route-finding Improved coverage of heuristic approaches to solving real-world spatial problems International standards for spatial data The book begins with a brief but detailed introduction to how computers work and how they are programmed, giving anyone with no previous computer science background a foundation to understand the remainder of the book. As with all parts of the book there are also suggestions for further sources of reading. The book then describes the ways in which vector and raster data can be stored and how algorithms are designed to perform fundamental operations such as detecting where lines intersect. From these simple beginnings the book moves into the more complex structures used for handling surfaces and networks and contains a detailed account of what it takes to determine the shortest route between two places on a network. The final sections of the book review problems, such as the "Travelling Salesman" problem, which are so complex that it is not known whether an optimum solution exists. Using clear, concise language, but without sacrificing technical rigour, the book gives readers an understanding of what it takes to produce systems which allow them to find out where to make their next purchase and how to drive to the right place to collect it.

Download or read book Uncertainty in Remote Sensing and GIS written by Giles M. Foody and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2003-07-11 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Remote sensing and geographical information science (GIS) have advanced considerably in recent years. However, the potential of remote sensing and GIS within the environmental sciences is limited by uncertainty, especially in connection with the data sets and methods used. In many studies, the issue of uncertainty has been incompletely addressed. The situation has arisen in part from a lack of appreciation of uncertainty and the problems it can cause as well as of the techniques that may be used to accommodate it. This book provides general overviews on uncertainty in remote sensing and GIS that illustrate the range of uncertainties that may occur, in addition to describing the means of measuring uncertainty and the impacts of uncertainty on analyses and interpretations made. Uncertainty in Remote Sensing and GIS provides readers with comprehensive coverage of this largely undocumented subject: * Relevant to a broad variety of disciplines including geography, environmental science, electrical engineering and statistics * Covers range of material from base overviews to specific applications * Focuses on issues connected with uncertainty at various points along typical data analysis chains used in remote sensing and GIS Written by an international team of researchers drawn from a variety of disciplines, Uncertainty in Remote Sensing and GIS provides focussed discussions on topics of considerable importance to a broad research and user community. The book is invaluable reading for researchers, advanced students and practitioners who want to understand the nature of uncertainty in remote sensing and GIS, its limitations and methods of accommodating it.

Download or read book Geospatial Concepts written by Amy Rock and published by . This book was released on 2019-06-13 with total page 774 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concepts and tutorials presented in this book are for readers with little to no experience using geographic information systems (GIS) software. This book is intended for use in an introductory college-level course. It contains seven chapters, each representing approximately two-weeks of work for a three-credit 16-week semester course. Each chapter starts with text related to fundamental concepts related to geospatial science and its sub-disciplines. The chapters also include one or more tutorials designed to reinforce the concepts learned. Tutorials may take between one to six hours to complete, depending on their complexity. When possible, the authors provide an estimated time to complete tutorials. Additional references, such as video content and external websites, may also be mentioned throughout the text.Chapter 1 explains how one creates, represents, manages, and displays geospatial data. A phrase familiar to computer science says, "Garbage in, garbage out." It means that the results of one's work depend upon the quality of data that goes into it. This phrase also applies to geospatial science. Understanding geospatial data will ensure that a project, analysis, or procedure will result in producing quality work. This Chapter covers the concepts, structure, data types, file types, and management of geospatial data.Maps are a medium for communication with a unique set of methods and techniques. Understanding how maps communicate will allow one to view maps in a new light and with a critical eye. One begins by learning the essential map elements and the visual variables of graphic communication. Chapter 2 presents the fundamental principles of cartographic design and communication.Chapter 3 presents the discipline at the root of geospatial science, geodesy. Geodesy is a branch of applied mathematics. It is the science of measuring and representing the size and shape of Earth, the exact position of points on the planet, and the study of Earth's gravitational and magnetic fields as they change over time.Determining a position on earth in a way that is meaningful to others is a difficult challenge. In part, the difficulty is due to the variations in map projections and datums used across the world, which can change longitude and latitude coordinates in different ways. It may seem like a small detail, yet boundary definitions and positional information can have significant legal, political, and military consequences. Chapter 4 presents how distance and location are defined and communicated using map scale and spatial reference systems.Chapter 5 presents a series of methods and equipment for mapping data in the field. This chapter differs from others due to the hands-on nature of field collection that is difficult to translate into a digital textbook. The activities included in this chapter have far less focus on software and incorporate some outdoor activities that readers will have to perform.Today, anyone with an internet connection and a web browser can view images from aircraft and space satellites. With imagery so commonplace and accessible, many might take it for granted. However, there are still new frontiers emerging in the collection, application, and processing of images. The scientific and educational potential of civilian-operated unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) is just one. Chapter 6 presents the phenomenon, concepts, equipment, and methods behind the science of Remote Sensing.Too often, people conduct a geospatial analysis without consideration for uncertainty and error, map projections, and datums. More often, there is little regard for cartographic convention and communication design goals. A geospatial analysis should consider the properties of geospatial data before applying GIS software tools. Chapter 7 introduces the first steps in learning how to conduct a geospatial analysis. The topics presented within should help to prepare readers for more sophisticated uses of GIS.
