Addresses the broad spectrum of analytical techniques that are provided within modern Geographic Information Systems and related geospatial software. This guide includes a chapter on Geocomputational Methods. It is designed for those involved in geospatial analysis, from undergraduate and postgraduate to professional analyst and software engineer.

Features a five part structure covering: Foundations; Principles; Techniques; Analysis; and Management and Policy. This book includes chapters on Distributed GIS, Map Production, Geovisualization, Modeling, and Managing GIS. It offers coverage of such topics as: GIS and the New World Order; security, health and well being; and the greening of GIS.

Addresses a range of analytical techniques that are provided within modern Geographic Information Systems and related geospatial software products. This guide covers: the principal concepts of geospatial analysis; core components of geospatial analysis; and, surface analysis, including surface form analysis, gridding and interpolation methods.

This book outlines a range of methods for the production and analysis of urban remote sensing data. These include improvements to per-pixel image classification algorithms, various methods of image fusion, syntactic pattern recognition techniques, the role of mathematical morphology, and geostatistical approaches to the analysis and interpretation of textural and spatial image patterns. The book c

Going beyond GIS, geocomputation embraces diverse areas of modelling, simulation and data organization in a spatial context. This book covers topics such as high performance computer systems, intelligent processing, visualization, and modelling.

Offers background on basic Geographical Information Systems (GIS) concepts and addresses the radical shifts and changes that have taken place in GIS technology and its uses. This book covers topics as diverse as issues of space and time in GIS, problems with data quality, uncertainty and error detection, and spatial analysis.
