O'Sullivan D., Unwin D. Geographic Information Analysis

Wellesley-Cambridge Press, 1997.- 638 pp. ISBN 0961408863. This book separates naturally into three parts. The first is basic linear algebra. The second is the application to the (linear and also nonlinear) science of measurement. The third is the excitement of GPS. You will see how the theory is immediately needed and used. Measurements are all around us, today and tomorrow. The goal is to extract the maximum information from those measureme...

John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2009. – 314 pages. Location theory is rooted in the disciplines of geography, engineering, mathematics, and economics. The science of ‘‘where should it be’’ is truly multidisciplinary and continues to be of interest to practitioners and researchers alike representing a variety of ?elds, ranging from business to operations research to computer science. We consider Geographic information systems (GIS) and optimization t...

Introduction to GlobalPositioning System: What it is and how it works. GeoResearch, Inc. 1996. 264 pages. There is an ever-growing supply of information about the Global Positioning System. Unfortunately, these new (and now, some not so new) documents seem to be located at each end of the comprehension scale: either at the gee-whiz level which basically describes how interesting and useful this new utility is, or at the engineer’s level which sta...

Artech House Publishers, 2006. - 302 Pages. Geographic information systems (GIS) – a central repository of geographic data collected from various sources, including satellites and GPS is emerging as one of the most intriguing and promising high-tech fields. Today, many technical, managerial, engineering, and academic positions require GIS skills, and this easy-to-understand resource answers the call. The book examines and explains all of the cri...

Springer, 2011. - 157 p. Universal navigation is accessible primarily through smart phones providing users with navigation information regardless of the environment (i.e., outdoor or indoor). Universal Navigation for Smart Phones provide the most up-to-date navigation technologies and systems for both outdoor and indoor navigation. It also provides a comparison of the similarities and differences between outdoor and indoor navigation systems fro...

Издательство Springer, 1997, -282 pp. Database research in the last decade has focused on developing support for so-called non-standard applications. One important area is the representation of spatial information, needed, for example, in Geographic Information Systems. Database systems extended by capabilities for managing spatial information are called spatial database systems. This book contributes to the design and implementation of geometry...

Издательство Springer, 2008, -1391 pp. The publication of a definitive Encyclopedia of GIS that lays out many of the computer science/mathematics foundations of the field is a major event, the culmination of a half century of development. I was part of the earliest stirrings in the mid-1950s. A small group of geography graduate students at the University of Washington, William Garrison’s space cadets, began to assemble what became the foundation...

Издательство Springer, 1997, -297 pp. This volume aims to bring together the two lines of research whose interaction promises to have significant practical impact in the near future: the application-oriented discipline of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and the technical discipline of geometric computation, or in particular, geometric algorithms and spatial data structures. GIS are complex systems consisting of a database part and a spatial...
