Abstract

"Spatial Computing is a set of ideas and technologies that transform our lives by understanding the physical world, knowing and communicating our relation to places in that world, and navigating through those places. With over a billion users, the potential for spatial computing to transform our modern lives is already evident. From Uber and Google Maps to consumer GPS devices, our society has benefitted immensely from spatial technology. We've reached the point where a hiker in Yellowstone, a Pokemon Go player in Paris, a self-driving car in California, a UAV surveying a corn field in Minnesota, and an Uber driver in Mumbai know precisely where they are, nearby points of interest, and how to reach their destinations. Groups of friends can form impromptu events via "check-in" models used by Facebook. Emergency services use it to locate not only 911-callers but also smart phones in evacuation zones or approaching tornadoes. Public health agencies use it to monitor the spread of infectious diseases to plan responses. Scientists use it to track endangered species to better understand behavior and farmers use it for precision agriculture to increase crop yields while reducing run-off and costs. Google Earth is being used in classrooms to teach children about their neighborhoods and the world in a fun and interactive way. Augmented reality applications like Pokemon Go are providing real-time place-labeling in the physical world and providing people detailed information about major landmarks nearby. These accomplishments are just the tip of the iceberg" [Publisher]

Abstract

In the five years since the publication of the first edition of Spatial Analysis: Statistics, Visualization, and Computational Methods, many new developments have taken shape regarding the implementation of new tools and methods for spatial analysis with R. The use and growth of artificial intelligence, machine learning and deep learning algorithms with a spatial perspective, and the interdisciplinary use of spatial analysis are all covered in this second edition along with traditional statistical methods and algorithms to provide a concept-based problem-solving learning approach to mastering practical spatial analysis. Spatial Analysis with R: Statistics, Visualization, and Computational Methods, Second Edition provides a balance between concepts and practicums of spatial statistics with a comprehensive coverage of the most important approaches to understand spatial data, analyze spatial relationships and patterns, and predict spatial processes.

Abstract

Les systèmes d'information géographique ont été amenés au cours des quinze dernières années à occuper une place centrale pour les applications traitant des problématiques de l'aménagement du territoire.Ce troisième volume retrace la mise en pratique sous QGIS et ses librairies de différentes applications en lien avec l'aménagement du territoire. Il illustre la grande diversité de cas d'études, d'échelles spatiales et d'acteurs concernés par cette problématique : de l'échelle mondiale à celle de la ville, de la détection d'objets aux études d'implantation ainsi que les milieux urbains, agroforestiers ou côtiers.Cet ouvrage s'adresse aux équipes de recherche en géomatique, aux étudiants en 2e et 3e cycle universitaire et aux ingénieurs impliqués dans la gestion des ressources en eau et du territoire. Avec QGIS et applications en aménagement du territoire, le lecteur aura accès aux données et développements informatiques et aux copies d'écran de toutes les fenêtres qui illustrent les manipulations nécessaires à la réalisation des différentes étapes de chaque application.

Abstract

This book draws on author's wealth of knowledge working on numerous projects across many countries. It provides a clear overview of the development of the SDI concept and SDI worldwide implementation and brings a logical chronological approach to the linkage of GIS technology with SDI enabling data. The theory and practice approach help understand that SDI development and implementation is very much a social process of learning by doing. The author masterfully selects main historical developments and updates them with an analytical perspective promoting informed and responsible use of geographic information and geospatial technologies for the benefit of society from local to global scales. Features Subject matter spans thirty years of the development of GIS and SDI. Brings a social science perspective into GIS and SDI debates that have been largely dominated by technical considerations. Based on a world-wide perspective as a result of the author's experience and research in the USA, Australia, Canada, Brazil, Peru, China, India, Korea, Malaysia, and Japan as well as most European countries. Draws upon professional and academic experience relating to pioneering UK and European GIS research initiatives. Includes updated historical material with an analytical perspective explaining what was done right, and what didn't work.

Abstract

Ce livre vise à fournir au lecteur tous les éléments nécessaires pour mettre en place un système d'information géographique (SIG) fondé sur l'utilisation conjointe de PostgreSQL et de PostGIS. Très détaillé et doté de nombreux exemples, il aidera aussi bien les débutants à se former que les utilisateurs intermédiaires et avancés à affiner leur pratique de l’outil.Organisé de manière thématique, les chapitres peuvent être lus dans n’importe quel ordre. Une première partie permet de se familiariser avec les concepts clés de la cartographie informatique et présente les principaux éléments de l'écosystème PostGIS et son fonctionnement. La deuxième partie passe en revue le traitement des données vecteur : importation, création, stockage mais aussi édition, comparaison, validation, analyse des relations spatiales et gestion des réseaux. La troisième partie explique comment manipuler, interroger et traiter des données raster. Enfin, la dernière partie présente différentes facettes de l'administration d'une base PostgreSQL + PostGIS en production.Le livre a été écrit à partir de la version 15 de PostgreSQL et 3.3.2 de PostGIS.

Abstract

GIS: A Computing Perspective, Second Edition, provides a full, up-to-date overview of the state-of-the-art in GIS, both Geographic Information Systems and the study of these systems-Geographic Information Science. Analyzing the subject from a computing perspective, the second edition explores conceptual and formal models needed to understand spatial information, and examines the representations and data structures needed to support adequate system performance. This volume also covers the special-purpose interfaces and architectures required to interact with and share spatial information, and explains the importance of uncertainty and time in spatial information.

Abstract

Many disciplines are concerned with manipulating geometric (or spatial) objects in the computer – such as geology, cartography, computer aided design (CAD), etc. – and each of these have developed their own data structures and techniques, often independently. Nevertheless, in many cases the object types and the spatial queries are similar, and this book attempts to find a common theme.
