| Remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS) are inherently linked technologies. Together, they form a powerful tool to measure, map, monitor, and model resources and environmental data for both scientific and commercial applications. This book brings together work by leaders in the field to address improved techniques, applications, and research in integrated remote sensing and geographical information systems. Among the topics covered are image rectification, change detection, visualisation, computer modelling, local land use planning, requirements of GIS in global change research, and a look at what the future could hold. Every remote sensing and GIS specialist working at the local, regional and global levels will find this book a valuable and up-to-date information source. |
