GIS Algorithms: Theory and Applications for Geographic Information Science & Technology (Sage Advances in Geographic Information Science and Technology) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Geographic information systems (GIS) have become increasingly important in helping us understand complex social, economic, and natural dynamics where spatial components play a key role. The critical algorithms used in GIS, however, are notoriously difficult to both teach and understand, in part due to the lack of a coherent representation. GIS Algorithms attempts to address this problem by combining rigorous formal language with example case studies and student exercises.

Using Python code throughout, Xiao breaks the subject down into three fundamental areas:

• Geometric Algorithms
• Spatial Indexing
• Spatial Analysis and Modelling
