Description
Book SynopsisGet up and running with the basics of geographic information systems (GIS), geospatial analysis, and machine learning on spatial data in Python.
This book starts with an introduction to geodata and covers topics such as GIS and common tools, standard formats of geographical data, and an overview of Python tools for geodata. Specifics and difficulties one may encounter when using geographical data are discussed: from coordinate systems and map projections to different geodata formats and types such as points, lines, polygons, and rasters. Analytics operations typically applied to geodata are explained such as clipping, intersecting, buffering, merging, dissolving, and erasing, with implementations in Python. Use cases and examples are included. The book also focuses on applying more advanced machine learning approaches to geographical data and presents interpolation, classification, regression, and clustering via examples and use cases.
