Îïèñàíèå: Web services, cloud computing, location based services, NoSQLdatabases, and Semantic Web offer new ways of accessing, analyzing, and elaborating geo-spatial information in both real-world and virtual spaces. This book explores the how-to of the most promising recurrent technologies and trends in GIS, such as Semantic GIS, Web GIS, Mobile GIS, NoSQL Geographic Databases, Cloud GIS, Spatial Data Warehousing-OLAP, and Open GIS. The text discusses and emphasizes the methodological aspects of such technologies and their applications in GIS.
Îïèñàíèå: This book develops the technology of radar imaging, and an understanding of scattering concepts, in a manner suitable to the mathematical background of most earth scientists. The approach allows for quick movement to the practical aspects of imaging.
Îïèñàíèå: Initially, the role of snow and ice in the global water balance is assessed and methods of snow measurements are explained. Following a review of snow melt and runoff modelling, the Snowmelt Runoff Model (SRM) demonstrates the merits of remote sensing in snow hydrology by using the satellite data as a direct input variable.
Îïèñàíèå: This book provides the reader a broad grounding in the science of Earth Observation (EO) of our changing planet. It contains a comprehensive sequenced discussion covering the significant themes of global change, their cause, and how they can be monitored through time.
Îïèñàíèå: Featuring contributors from 17 countries, this book presents the advances in environmental remote sensing. It provides the developments in remote sensing data and sensor systems, paying attention to LIDAR, high spatial-resolution sensing, hyperspectral sensing, and data fusion of various sensors.
