  • Spatial Context

    CRC Press Spatial Context

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisMany disciplines are concerned with manipulating geometric (or spatial) objects in the computer â such as geology, cartography, computer aided design (CAD), etc. â and each of these have developed their own data structures and techniques, often independently. Nevertheless, in many cases the object types and the spatial queries are similar, and this book attempts to find a common theme.Trade ReviewChris Gold has devoted much of his research career to techniques of spatial analysis. In this new book many of his most important contributions are assembled in one place for the first time, along with related material, and covering applications that range across the environmental and social sciences. The book will be of great interest to researchers from across those disciplines, as well as to specialists in computer graphics, computational geometry, photogrammetry, cartography, and remote sensing.Unlike many competing books, the author of this one has chosen to present algorithms descriptively, rather than in code or pseudocode. This makes the book eminently readable, but perhaps of most interest to those who are able to turn the descriptions into code, or to value them as insights into what goes on under the hood of geographic information technologies. The text is very well illustrated with black-and-white diagrams, and mathematical notation is clear and easy to follow.Spatial context is a concept of great interest to social scientists as they try to understand how behavior is determined by an individual's surroundings. Obesity, drug use, housing segregation, and many other aspects of human behavior depend to some degree on the environment in which the individual lives, and yet much previous research has failed to find accurate ways of capturing spatial context. An individual's ZIP code, for example, is often taken as a convenient but necessarily inacccurate basis for estimating the spatial factors that influence behavior. This book will be helpful to researchers interested in finding better solutions to the problem of characterizing spatial context.Mike Goodchild, Emeritus Professor and Research Professor of Geography at the University of California, Santa Barbara, USA.The author of the present book is a well-known expert in this eld. His book starts with a presentation of useful geometric primitives like predicates for 3-dimensional intersection detection. The next, and central, topic are geometric structures of immense value to modeling. Most prominently feature the Voronoi diagram, the Delaunay triangulation and the medial axis (or: skeleton). They contain a lot of information about a given scene and are, therefore, widely used in computer science, GIS, mathematics, natural sciences, economics, and ecology. The author discusses surprising properties of these structures, emphasizing general concepts like duality. The third part of the book is devoted to more practically oriented methods used in 2- and 3-dimensional GIS.In this book, the author presents a rather personal view. His selection of topics, the decision not to include complexity questions or numerical problems, and the wealth of beautiful gures make reading easy. The author's enthusiasm jumps out at his readers and keeps them motivated. This book provides, in a pleasurable way, insight into topics that are not widely known nor easily accessible. Thus, it presents a very nice introduction to spatial analysis.Rolf Klein, Professor at the University of Bonn. In: Zentralblatt MATH 1376.68001.Table of ContentsPreliminaries. Models of Space.

    Book SynopsisThe constant growth of the world's population and the decline of the availability of land and soil resources are global concerns for food security. Other concerns are the decrease in productivity and delivery of essential ecosystems services because of the decline of soil quality and health by a range of degradation processes. Key soil properties like soil bulk density, organic carbon concentration, plant available water capacity, infiltration rate, air porosity at field moisture capacity, and nutrient reserves, are crucial properties for soil functionality which refers to the capacity of soil to perform numerous functions. These functions are difficult to measure directly and are estimated through indices of soil quality and soil health. Soil degradation, its extent and severity, can also be estimated by assessing indices of soil quality and health.Geospatial Technology for Land Degradation Assessment and Management uses satellite imagery and remote sensing tecTable of Contents1 An Introduction to Geospatial Technology. 2 Passive Remote Sensing. 3 Active Remote Sensing. 4 Digital Image Processing. 5 An Introduction to Land Degradation. 6 Water Erosion. 7 Wind Erosion. 8 Soil Salinization and Alkalinization. 9 Soil Acidification. 10 Waterlogging. 11 Land Degradation due to Mining, Aquaculture, and Shifting Cultivation. 12 Drought. 13 Land Degradation Information Systems.

    Book SynopsisA riveting introduction to the complex and evolving field of geospatial intelligence. Although geospatial intelligence is a term of recent origin, its underpinnings have a long and interesting history. Geospatial Intelligence: Origins and Evolution shows how the current age of geospatial knowledge evolved from its ancient origins to become ubiquitous in daily life across the globe. Within that framework, the book weaves a tapestry of stories about the people, events, ideas, and technologies that affected the trajectory of what has become known as GEOINT. Author Robert M. Clark explores the historical background and subsequent influence of fields such as geography, cartography, remote sensing, photogrammetry, geopolitics, geophysics, and geographic information systems on GEOINT. Although its modern use began in national security communities, Clark shows how GEOINT has rapidly extended its reach to other government agencies, NGOs, and corporations. This global explosion in the use of geospatial intelligence has far-reaching implications not only for the scientific, academic, and commercial communities but for a society increasingly reliant upon emerging technologies. Drones, the Internet of things, and cellular devices transform how we gather information and how others can collect that information, to our benefit or detriment.Trade ReviewIt is a pioneering text suitable for everyone’s reading list as well as the classroom. * AFIO Intelligencer *To call Robert Clark’s Geospatial Intelligence: Origins and Evolution the best GEOINT primer that I have read is necessary— accurate —and insufficient.

    Book SynopsisRemote sensing has witnessed a renaissance as new sensor systems, data collection capabilities and image processing methodologies have expanded the technological capabilities of this science into new and important applications areas. Perhaps nowhere has this trend been more evident than in the study of earth environments. Within this broad application area remote sensing has proven to be an invaluable asset supporting timely data gathering at a range of synoptic scales, facilitating the mapping of complex landscapes and promoting the analysis of environmental process. Yet remote sensing''s contribution to the study of human/environmental interaction is scattered throughout a rich and diverse literature spanning the social and physical sciences, which frustrates access to, and the sharing of the knowledge gained through, these recent advances, and inhibits the operational use of these methods and techniques in day to day environmental practice, a recognized gap that reduces the effecTable of ContentsThe Earth Observation Perspective.- Environmental Sensing.- Sensors and Systems.- Fundamentals of Image Processing.- Sensing Uncertainty.- Environmental Characterization.- Environmental Monitoring and Change Detection.- Thermal Sensing and Anomaly Detection.- Hyper-spectral Sensing.- Hyper-spectral Classification.- Object-based Analysis.- Forensic Remote Sensing.- Integrative Sensing.- Index.

  • Open Mapping towards Sustainable Development Goals: Voices of YouthMappers on Community Engaged Scholarship

    Springer International Publishing AG Open Mapping towards Sustainable Development Goals: Voices of YouthMappers on Community Engaged Scholarship

    Out of stock

    Book SynopsisThis collection amplifies the experiences of some of the world’s young people who are working to address SDGs using geospatial technologies and multi-national collaboration. Authors from every region of the world who have emerged as leaders in the YouthMappers movement share their perspectives and knowledge in an accessible and peer-friendly format. YouthMappers are university students who create and use open mapping for development and humanitarian purposes. Their work leverages digital innovations - both geospatial platforms and communications technologies - to answer the call for leadership to address sustainability challenges. The book conveys a sense of robust knowledge emerging from formal studies or informal academic experiences - in the first-person voices of students and recent graduates who are at the forefront of creating a new map of the world. YouthMappers use OpenStreetMap as the foundational sharing mechanism for creating data together. Authors impart the way they are learning about themselves, about each other, about the world. They are developing technology skills, and simultaneously teaching the rest of the world about the potential contributions of a highly connected generation of emerging world leaders for the SDGs. The book is timely, in that it captures a pivotal moment in the trajectory of the YouthMappers movement’s ability to share emerging expertise, and one that coincides with a pivotal moment in the geopolitical history of planet earth whose inhabitants need to hear from them. Most volumes that cover the topic of sustainability in terms of youth development are written by non-youth authors. Moreover, most are written by non-majoritarian, entrenched academic scholars. This book instead puts forward the diverse voices of students and recent graduates in countries where YouthMappers works, all over the world. Authors cover topics that range from water, agriculture, food, to waste, education, gender, climate action and disasters from their own eyes in working with data, mapping, and humanitarian action, often working across national boundaries and across continents. To inspire readers with their insights, the chapters are mapped to the United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in ways that connect a youth agenda to a global agenda. With a preface written by Carrie Stokes, Chief Geographer and GeoCenter Director, United States Agency for International Development (USAID). This is an open access book. Table of ContentsChapter1.

    Springer International Publishing AG Computational Metrics for Soccer Analysis: Connecting the dots

    Out of stock

    Book SynopsisThis book provides an account of the use of computational tactical metrics in improving sports analysis, in particular the use of Global Positioning System (GPS) data in soccer. As well as offering a practical perspective on collective behavioural analysis, it introduces the computational metrics available in the literature that allow readers to identify collective behaviour and patterns of play in team sports. These metrics only require the bio-dimensional geo-referencing information from GPS or video-tracking systems to provide qualitative and quantitative information about the tactical behaviour of players and the inter-relationships between teammates and their opponents. Exercises, experimental cases and algorithms enable readers to fully comprehend how to compute these metrics, as well as introducing them to the ultimate performance analysis tool, which is the basis to run them on. The script to compute the metrics is presented in Python. The book is a valuable resource for professional analysts as well students and researchers in the field of sports analysis wanting to optimise the use of GPS trackers in soccer. Trade Review“I truly believe that the information generated in this way should be highly valuable for soccer coaches, in particular to improve the tactical behavior of a team.” (Christian Meyer, SIAM Review, Vol. 61 (4), December, 2019)Table of ContentsBrief review about computational metrics used in team sports.- How to use the dots to analyze the behavior and the collective organization.- Individual metrics to characterize the player’s behavior: variability in the trajectories and external load.- Metrics to measure the center of the team.- Metrics to measure the dispersion of the players.- Metrics to tactical analysis.- The use of computational metrics in case studies: from small-sided games to official 11 vs. 11.
