Product Description
The book is a new comprehensive textbook about creating and publishing geoinformation metadata.It is a compendium of knowledge about geoinformation metadata in INSPIRE Directive and Spatial Information Infrastructures. It contains the knowledge necessary to understand prior to the creation of geoinformation metadata.Metadata – “data about data” - describe the layers of spatial data (data series, services) responding to the questions: what?, why?, when?, who?, how?and where?Geoinformation metadata allows for exact search of the spatial data according to given criteria, regardless of where this data is located.On 15 May 2007the EU Directive 2007/2/EC came into force establishing Infrastructure for Spatial Information in Europe - INSPIRE. The proper functioning of the infrastructure for spatial information would not be possible without the metadata. ... Read more

From the author: The paper introduces methods and applications of the mobile positioning-based social positioning method in geography. The social positioning method (SPM) studies space-time behavior by analyzing the location coordinates of mobile phones and the social characteristics of the people carrying them. We describe the experience gained from the SPM pilot studies carried out in Estonia from 2003 to 2006. The results demonstrate that mobile positioning-based tracing is applicable in different geographical studies, as an analysis of temporal movement patterns and activity spaces. The biggest advantage of mobile positioning-based methods is that mobile phones are widespread, positioning works inside buildings, and collection of movement data is done by a third party at regular intervals. The disadvantage of mobile positioning today is relatively low spatial accuracy and surveillance fears. The boom in the generation of phones with A-GPS will improve positioning accuracy in networks.

Average Customer Review: 3.5 out of 5 stars

Editorial Review

Product Description
To understand the output from a geographic information system, one must understand the quality of the data that is entered into the system, the algorithms driving the data processing, and the limitations of the graphic displays.

Introduction to Mathematical Techniques Used in GIS explains to nonmathematicians the fundamentals that support the manipulation and display of geographic information. It focuses on basic mathematical techniques, building upon a series of steps that enable a deeper understanding of the complex forms of manipulation that arise in the handling of spatially related data.

The book moves rapidly through a wide range of data transformations, outlining the techniques involved. Many are precise, building logically on underlying assumptions. Others are based upon statistical analysis and the pursuit of the optimum rather than the perfect and definite solution.

By understanding the mathematics behind the gathering, processing, and display of information, GIS professionals can advise others on the integrity of results, the quality of the information, and the safety of using it. ... Read more

3-0 out of 5 stars not in-depth
I used this book for a geospatial math class. The book would briefly cover a math topic. We had to use a lot of handouts and outside sources to understand certain math techniques. Even having taken Calculus II, I didn't understand everything in this book without outside resources.

However, I do believe this is one of the better geospatial math books. But, keep in mind that it is very thin/small and is just more of a "review."

3-0 out of 5 stars Good at explaining the math, bad at tying in the math to GIS
This book covers just about all of the math involved in GIS calculations from basic mathematics and algebra through calculus and statistics. The explanations are very accessible and the examples are clear. However, the book does a rather poor job of tying the mathematics back into solving problems in cartography. In fact, it does not even tackle that job at all. Instead, the first chapter of the book is a rather vague one entitled "Characteristics of Geographic Information" that talks about various mathematical problems in GIS, and that is the end of the discussion for the remainder of the book. Another problem with the book is that there are no exercises for the student. This is a real setback, since there is such a variety of mathematics being presented in this book that I would think that exercises would be not only appropriate but a necessity. Both straight numerical exercises and also a few "projects" that utilize various mathematical concepts in GIS would be very helpful.

If you are an instructor and you think you know how to fill in the gaps left in this book, it would probably make a good template from which to teach, but I would not recommend it to students who intend to self-teach the material.

4-0 out of 5 stars Introduction To Mathematical Techniques Used In GIS
I learnt a lot from reading this book. It begins with a simple introduction of the basic but necessary mathematical tools required to understand how GIS software tools and concepts operate. This understanding opens up new opportunities for users to code new functions into the API's that are becoming standard fare of many of the commercial spatial software.

However, the intensity of the contents climb steeply in the middle chapters and the unfocused reader can easily be lost amongst the concepts. Making it to the end of the book will bring a new realization about how our GIS really operates. One good feature is that the chapters are very short and concise, so by the time you are bored, the chapter comes to an end and you can reflect back in sensemaking mode. This is a very understandable book to those who take the patience to read it. ... Read more

Product Description
This title provides a broad overview of the different types of models used in advanced spatial analysis. The models concern spatial organization, location factors and spatial interaction patterns from both static and dynamic perspectives.

Each chapter gives a broad overview of the subject, covering both theoretical developments and practical applications. The advantages of an interdisciplinary approach are illustrated in the way that the viewpoint of each of the individual disciplines are brought together when considering questions relevant to spatial analysis.

The authors of the chapters come from a range of different disciplines (geography, economy, hydrology, ecology, etc.) and are specialists in their field. They use a range of methods and modeling tools developed in mathematics, statistics, artificial intelligence and physics. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Product Description

The book presents modern and efficient methods for solving Geodetic and Geoinformatics algebraic problems using computer algebra techniques of Ring, polynomials, Groebner basis, resultants, Gauss-Jacobi combinatorial and Procrustes algorithms. Although these problems are traditionally solved by approximate methods, this book presents alternative algebraic techniques based on computer algebra tools. This new approach meets such modern challenges as resection by laser techniques, solution of orientation in robotics, transformation and bundle block adjustment in geoinformatics, densification of engineering networks, analytical solution for GPS-meteorology and many other problems. For mathematicians the book provides some practical examples of abstract algebra  application and multidimensional scaling.
