Landscape Simulation Modeling: A Spatially Explicit, Dynamic Approach

Robert Costanza (Editor), Alexey Voinov (Editor), «Landscape Simulation Modeling: A Spatially Explicit, Dynamic Approach»
Springer | ISBN 0387008357 | 2003 Year | PDF | 22 Mb | 330 Pages

When managers and ecologists need to make decisions about the environment, they use models to simulate the dynamic systems that interest them. All management decisions affect certain landscapes over time, and those landscapes are composed of intricate webs of dynamic processes that need to be considered in relation to each other. With widespread use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), there is a growing need for complex models ncorporating an increasing amount of data. The open-source Spatial Modeling Environment (SME) was developed to build upon common modeling software, such as STELLA (R), and Powersim (R), among others, to create, run, analyze, and present spatial models of ecosystems, watersheds, populations, and landscapes. In this book, the creators of the Spatial Modeling Environment discuss and illustrate the uses of SME as a modeling tool for all kinds of complex spatial systems.

Multispectral Image Analysis Using the Object-Oriented Paradigm

Multispectral Image Analysis Using the Object-Oriented Paradigm
CRC | 2006-12-05 | ISBN: 1420043064 | 184 pages | PDF | 12,2 MB


Bringing a fresh new perspective to remote sensing, object-based image analysis is a paradigm shift from the traditional pixel-based approach. Featuring various practical examples to provide understanding of this new modus operandi, Multispectral Image Analysis Using the Object-Oriented Paradigm reviews the current image analysis methods and demonstrates advantages to improve information extraction from imagery. This reference describes traditional image analysis techniques, introduces object-oriented technology, and discusses the benefits of object-based versus pixel-based classification. It examines the creation of object primitives using image segmentation approaches and the use of various techniques for object classification. The author covers image enhancement methods, how to use ancillary data to constrain image segmentation, and concepts of semantic grouping of objects. He concludes by addressing accuracy assessment approaches. The accompanying two CD-ROMs present sample data that enable the use of different approaches to problem solving. Integrating remote sensing techniques and GIS analysis, Multispectral Image Analysis Using the Object-Oriented Paradigm distills new tools to extract information from remotely sensed data.

GIS for Group Decision Making

GIS for Group Decision Making

GIS for Group Decision Making (Research Monographs in Geographic Information Systems.)
CRC | January 18, 2001 | ISBN-10: 0748409327 | 296 pages | PDF | 12.4mb

In today's society, it is very common for decisions that influence us all to be made by a combination of interested parties, all with their own agenda. In this instance, how can we be sure that the decision is the correct one, not just decided by the group with the most political influence or most money? Such groups have now become fundamental decision-making units within and between organisations in most societies and are more often than not very complex structures. The use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Groupware can be used in several practical contexts to make sure that spatial decision problems are overcome in the most effective way.
A fundamental aspect of a spatial decision problem is the matter of location. The complexity of spatial decision problems result from the multiplicity of stakeholders involved, their often conflicting interests, and the intangible variables of the decision environment. Examples of such problems include: where to locate a public facility, which brownfield redevelopment strategy to choose, which sites to select for environmental restoration, or which comprehensive land use plan to adopt. Good solutions to such problems -if they exist at all- are characterised by a certain minimum level of secretarial support; hence the decision-making process should involve experts, citizens, and interest groups alike. Such a collaborative approach to spatial decision-making needs methodology, tools, and application examples to inspire its adoption and more widespread use. This book sets out the key to the collaborative spatial decision-making approach: its theoretical basis, the requisite tools, and a number of application examples.

GIS professionals and researchers should find this an invaluable guide to an emerging area of GIS.

Massive New Zealand quake moves country west

New Zealand bị đẩy về phía Australia

Một trận động đất có cường độ 7,8 độ Richter vào tuần trước đã đẩy miền nam New Zealand về phía xứ sở chuột túi.

Đảo South của New Zealand dịch chuyển 30 cm về phía Australia.

Australia và New Zealand bị chia tách bởi biển Tasman, cách nhau 2.250 km. Vì thế mà việc hai nước xích lại gần nhau thêm 30 cm có vẻ như chẳng có ý nghĩa gì.

Tuy nhiên, Ken Gledhill, nhà nghiên cứu động đất của Viện nghiên cứu địa chất và hạt nhân New Zealand, cho hay sự dịch đó chứng tỏ động đất gây nên lực rất mạnh.

“Đó là lực chấn động mạnh nhất trên toàn thế giới trong năm nay. Rất có thể diện tích của New Zealand đã tăng lên chút ít nhờ nó”, Gledhill phát biểu.

Theo Gledhill, vùng tây nam của đảo South thuộc New Zealand dịch chuyển khoảng 30 cm về phía Australia, nhưng bờ biển phía đông của đảo chỉ dịch chuyển 1 cm về phía tây. Động đất gây nên một trận sóng thần nhỏ. Bằng chứng về tác động của sóng thần là những đợt sóng có chiều cao tới 1 m ở bờ biển phía tây New Zealand.

Kết quả kiểm tra những vịnh gần tâm chấn cho thấy đất sụt lở rất ít. Các chuyên gia cũng chỉ phát hiện vài dấu hiệu nhỏ về thiệt hại. Đó là do phần lớn năng lượng của động đất “chạy” ra phía biển, chỉ một phần nhỏ tác động lên đất liền.

New Zealand thường xuyên hứng chịu động đất vì nó nằm trên điểm giao nhau của Australia và các mảng địa tầng lục địa trên Thái Bình Dương.

Massive New Zealand quake moves country west

Map showing the epicentre of a 7.8-magnitude quake that struck off the southwest coast of New Zealand …

WELLINGTON, New Zealand – Southern New Zealand has moved slightly closer to the east coast of neighboring Australia as a result of a massive earthquake last week off the country's South Island, a scientist said Wednesday.

The magnitude 7.8 quake, centered in the ocean near Resolution Island in the country's Fiordland region, twisted South Island out of shape and moved its southern tip 12 inches (30 centimeters) closer to Australia, seismologist Ken Gledhill said.

Gledhill, director of government-owned GNS Science's "GeoNet" national earthquake monitoring project, said the island's geographic shift showed the immensity of the forces involved.

"Basically, it's taken us closer to Australia," he told National Radio. "The country is deforming all the time because of being on the plate boundary, but this has done it in a few seconds, rather than waiting hundreds of years."

Last Wednesday's quake was the largest in the world this year and New Zealand's biggest in 80 years. No major damage has been found in the sparsely populated Fiordland region of South Island's west coast.

"New Zealand has been very fortunate. This earthquake anywhere else would have caused huge damage," Gledhill said. He said the quake's impact will provide "invaluable information" on the underlying structure of the country.

Martin Reyners, principal scientist for GNS Science, said earlier that a shallow temblor of such magnitude would typically cause widespread damage and loss of life. Last week's quake, however, occurred in "soft rocks" between two tectonic plates, muffling its power, he said.
Reyners said the rocks had lurched rather than snapped, causing a low-frequency rolling rather than the high-frequency waves that are known to damage buildings.

Space shuttle Endeavour arrives

Tàu Endeavour trở về trái đất an toàn

Sau 11 ngày kết nối với Trạm không gian quốc tế (ISS), tàu con thoi Endeavour hôm qua bắt đầu hành trình quay về địa cầu sau khi hoàn thành việc lắp đặt phòng thí nghiệm tại đây.

Phòng thí nghiệm vũ trụ mang tên Kibo do Nhật Bản chế tạo. Ảnh: NASA.

Việc tàu Endeavour trở về đã chấm dứt kỷ lục về số lượng người lớn nhất có mặt trên trạm ISS: 13 phi hành gia. Tàu mang theo 7 nhà du hành tách khỏi ISS khi cả hai cùng bay ở phía trên Ấn Độ Dương. Sau khi tách ra Endeavour bay một vòng xung quanh ISS để chụp ảnh và tàu sẽ đáp xuống trái đất vào thứ sáu tuần này.

Trong 11 ngày làm việc cùng nhau, 13 phi hành gia trên trạm ISS đã lắp ghép hợp phần thứ ba của phòng thí nghiệm vũ trụ do Nhật Bản sản xuất và lắp đặt các tấm pin mới. Họ thực hiện 5 chuyến đi bộ ngoài không gian, giúp mở rộng ISS về cả quy mô và khả năng hoạt động. Các nhà du hành cũng đối mặt với một số sự cố, như toilet bị hỏng và hệ thống làm sạch không khí trở nên quá nóng.

Các phi hành gia trên tàu Endeavour kiểm tra tổng thể tàu trong hôm nay bằng tia laser để đảm bảo rằng lớp cách nhiệt không bị rạn hay thủng vì rác vũ trụ hay thiên thạch nhỏ. Koichi Wakata, nhà du hành người Nhật Bản đã ở trên ISS suốt 4 tháng rưỡi qua, trở về trái đất cùng tàu. Thay anh làm việc trên ISS là Timothy Kopra, nhà du hành người Mỹ.

Giám đốc chương trình trạm không gian của NASA, ông Mike Suffredini, nói rằng chuyến bay của Endeavour là sự kiện lịch sử vì nhờ nó mà việc lắp đặt phòng thí nghiệm không gian Kibo trị giá 1 tỷ USD đã hoàn thành. Để hoàn tất việc lắp đặt phòng thí nghiệm bạc tỷ này NASA đã phải phóng tàu con thoi 3 lần.

Space shuttle Endeavour arrives at space station

Phi hành gia Tom Marshburn ra ngoài không gian để lắp đặt phòng thí nghiệm Kibo ngày 27/7. Ảnh: NASA.

Endeavour docked at the space station Friday afternoon for a week-and-a-half-long stay. The linkup created the biggest crowd ever in orbit at the same place: 13 astronauts. The two crews will greet one another, face to face, as soon as the hatches between the craft are opened.

Before docking, commander Mark Polansky guided Endeavour through a backflip so the station astronauts could photograph the entire shuttle, primarily its belly. The station crew used zoom lenses to capture any evidence of serious damage from Wednesday's launch.

A considerable amount of foam insulation peeled away from Endeavour's fuel tank at liftoff and some shuttle thermal tiles were dinged.

Able Software R2V v6.5.20090212

Able Software R2V v6.5.20090212

Able Software R2V v6.5.20090212 | 9.08 MB

Able Software R2V for Windows, is a powerful raster to vector conversion software at a reasonable price. R2V combines the power of intelligent automatic vectorizing technology with an easy-to-use, menu-driven, graphical user interface in the Microsoft Windows environment. The software converts scanned maps or images to vector formats for mapping, geographic information systems (GIS), CAD, and scientific computing applications.The system is easy to use and can be learned quickly by users with any level of technical background.

R2V provides an easy and complete solution to digitize vector data from image sources, such as scanned maps and drawings, aerial photos, and satellite imagery. For many images, the entire raster to vector conversion process is fully automatic and needs no human intervention. You display the scanned image on screen and you select the vectorization command. That is all it takes! All the lines are extracted in seconds and displayed right on top of the image for you to verify and edit. Powerful editing and processing functions are provided to edit, geo-reference, and label your data. R2V has all the tools to get a perfect set of vector data faster and easier than any other methods.

With R2V, you can forget about slow and inaccurate hand tracing on a digitizing tablet, simply scan your map or drawing and let R2V vectorize it automatically, at a high accuracy level. A typical contour or parcel map scanned at 200 DPI (dots/inch) as black and white or grayscale can be vectorized in seconds or minutes on a Pentium PC.

R2V Functions:
Image Formats: TIFF, GeoTIFF, JPEG, GIF, RLC, PNG and BMP formats. R2V supports most image types, including 1-bit bi-level, 8-bit grayscale, and color images (4-bit, 8-bit, and 24-bit). Most TIFF image compressions are supported. There is no software limit for image sizes. R2V also supports SPOT and other satellite raw image formats. Geo-reference your raster image in R2V and save to GeoTIFF format.
Vector Export/Import: ArcView (Shape file), Arc/Info Generate, AutoCAD DXF, MapInfo (MIF/MID), IGES, MapGuide SDL, 3D Grid file, 3D DEM (compatible with USGS DEM), VRML, and 3D XYZ vector file formats. More vector file formats are being added.

Advanced Vectorization: R2V supports three types of vectorization:
*Fully automatic vectorization. One command will vectorize your scanned map in seconds or minutes at high quality. Batch function allows vectorizing a number of maps without any user intervention. Write your own batch script to customize the processing steps for the images before vectorization and for vector line processing after the vectorization.
*Interactive line tracing. You select two points on the image and let R2V trace the line for you. Easy, accurate and intelligent! For complex maps or drawings, use the interactive tracing to vectorize lines selectively. Or use the multiple line tracing function to vectorize a group of lines with only two clicks.
*Manual on-screen heads-up digitizing. With R2V's easy to use vector editor, you simply draw the lines with your image as the backdrop, zoom in and out, and quickly create the data set for your specific applications.

Portable Vextractor 3.94

Portable Vextractor 3.94

Portable Vextractor 3.94 | 4.5MB

Vextractor is a professional software for converting raster images to vector (vectorizer). Vextractor converts drawings, maps and other images, including photo, logos, black-and-white illustrations from raster to vector format. The program can save converted raster images to the following vector formats: DXF, WMF, EMF, EPS, AI or SVG. Files of these vector formats can be imported to popular vector graphics applications like AutoCAD, Corel Draw, Adobe Illustrator, and many others. For the purpose of supporting GIS applications, the program allows saving images to the ArcInfo Shape and MapInfo MID/MIF formats. This software is a perfect replacement for the traditional tracing and digitizing. It can save lots of your time, for it is much quicker to use this program rather than do the tracing by hand or using a digitizer.

Why Do You Need Vextractor?

Chances are these days you can open raster files (e.g., BMP, TIFF, PNG, JPG) with your favorite CAD program - the majority of modern CAD programs can import and display raster images. However, as soon as you import your raster file in your CAD program, you will find out that all you can do with it is just view it and trace it over. You are unable to modify or edit the raster as easily as you can do vector data. That takes place because CAD software can only work with vector files. If you want to edit raster files in a CAD application you are to convert them to vector files first. That can be done with a raster to vector conversion program (vectorizer). Once your raster image is converted to the vector format, you will be able to import it in your CAD application and then edit it like any other drawings that you do with your CAD application.

Algorithmic Foundation of Multi-Scale...

Algorithmic Foundation of Multi-Scale Spatial Representation

Algorithmic Foundation of Multi-Scale Spatial Representation By Zhilin Li
Publisher: CRC 2006 | 282 Pages | ISBN: 0849390729 | PDF | 10 MB

With the widespread use of GIS, multi-scale representation has become an important issue in the realm of spatial data handling. However, no book to date has systematically tackled the different aspects of this discipline. Emphasizing map generalization, Algorithmic Foundation of Multi-Scale Spatial Representation addresses the mathematical basis of multi-scale representation, specifically, the algorithmic foundation. Using easy-to-understand language, the author focuses on geometric transformations, with each chapter surveying a particular spatial feature. After an introduction to the essential operations required for geometric transformations as well as some mathematical and theoretical background, the book describes algorithms for a class of point features/clusters. It then examines algorithms for individual line features, such as the reduction of data points, smoothing (filtering), and scale-driven generalization, followed by a discussion of algorithms for a class of line features including contours, hydrographic (river) networks, and transportation networks. The author also addresses algorithms for individual area features, a class of area features, and various displacement operations. The final chapter briefly covers algorithms for 3-D surfaces and 3-D features. Providing a thorough treatment of low-level algorithms, Algorithmic Foundation of Multi-Scale Spatial Representation supplies the mathematical groundwork for multi-scale representations of spatial data.

The issue of identifying wetlands, quantifying their change over time, and characterizing the influences of nature and humans on them is a difficult one. Wetlands are a mix of terrestrial and aquatic systems that create a unique condition. Long of secondary interest in the minds of the public, scientists, and engineers, they have been evaluated on a systematic basis in detail only as of late. Now, a number of people are seeking knowledge of wetlands and techniques to better characterize, monitor, and maintain these unique features in the landscape. To that end, Wetland Landscape Characterization was written.

Spatial Analysis and GIS

Spatial Analysis and GIS

S Fotheringham, P Rogerson “Spatial Analysis and GIS"
CRC | 1994-03 | ISBN: 0748401032 | 296 pages | PDF | 3,4 MB

Geographic information systems represent an exciting and rapidly expanding technology via which spatial data may be captured, stored, retrieved, displayed, manipulated and analyzed. Applications of this technology include detailed inventories of land use parcels. Spatial patterns of disease, geodemographics, environmental management and macroscale inventories of global resources. The impetus for this book is the relative lack of research into the integration of spatial analysis and GIS, and the potential benefits in developing such an integration. From a GIS perspective, there is an increasing demand for systems that do something other than display and organize data. From a spatial analytical perspective, there are advantages to linking statistical methods and mathematical models to the database and display capabilities of a GIS. Although the GIS may not be absolutely necessary for spatial analysis, it can facilitate such an analysis and moreover provide insights that might otherwise have been missed. The contributions to the book tell us where we are and where we ought to be going. They suggest that the integration of spatial analysis and GIS will stimulate interest in quantitative spatial science, particularly exploratory and visual types of analysis. They represent a unique statement of the state-of-the-art issues in integration and interface..

Image Procesing: Dealing with Texture

Image Procesing: Dealing with Texture

Publisher: Wiley
Language: English
ISBN: 0470026286
Paperback: 634 pages
Data: Mar 2006
Format: DJVU

Techniques for the analysis of texture in digital images are essential to a range of applications in areas as diverse as robotics, defence, medicine and the geo-sciences. In biological vision, texture is an important cue allowing humans to discriminate objects. This is because the brain is able to decipher important variations in data at scales smaller than those of the viewed objects. In order to deal with texture in digital data, many techniques have been developed by image processing researchers.

With a wholly practical approach and many worked examples, Image Processing: Dealing with Texture is a comprehensive guide to these techniques, including chapters on mathematical morphology, fractals, Markov random fields, Gabor functions and wavelets. Structured around a series of questions and answers, enabling readers to easily locate information on specific problems, this book also:
  • provides detailed descriptions of methods used to analyse binary as well as grey texture images
  • presents information on two levels: an easy-to-follow narrative explaining the basics, and an advanced, in-depth study of mathematical theorems and concepts
  • looks at ‘good’ and ‘bad’ image processing practice, with wrongly designed algorithms illustrating ‘what not to do’
  • includes an accompanying website, setting out all algorithms discussed within the text.
  • An ideal self-teaching aid for senior undergraduate and Masters students taking courses in image processing and pattern recognition, this book is also an ideal reference for PhD students, electrical and biomedical engineers, mathematicians, and informatics researchers designing image processing applications.

Remote Sensing: The Image Chain Approach

Remote Sensing: The Image Chain Approach

Publisher: Oxford University Press
Language: English
ISBN: 0195178173
Paperback: 688 pages
Data: May 2007
Format: PDF

Remote Sensing deals with the fundamental ideas underlying the rapidly growing field of remote sensing. John Schott explores energy-matter interaction, radiation propagation, data dissemination, and described the tools and procedures required to extract information from remotely sensed data using the image chain approach. Organizations and individuals often focus on one aspect of the remote sensing process before considering it as a whole, thus investigating unjustified effort, time, and expense to get minimal improvement. Unlike other books on the subject, Remote Sensing treats the process as a continuous flow. Schott examines the limitations obstructing the flow of information to the user, employing numerous applications of remote sensing to earth observation disciplines. For this second edition, in addition to a thorough update, there are major changes and additions, such as a much more complete treatment of spectroscopic imaging, which has matured dramatically in the last ten years, and a more rigorous treatment of image processing with an emphasis on spectral image processing algorithms. Remote Sensing is an ideal first text in remote sensing for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in the physical or engineering sciences, and will also serve as a valuable reference for practitioners.

Remote Sensing of Snow and Ice

Remote Sensing of Snow and Ice

W. Gareth Rees, "Remote Sensing of Snow and Ice"
Publisher: CRC | 2005-08-12 | ISBN 0415298318 | PDF | 312 pages | 14.3 MB


Many advances in spaceborne instrumentation, remote sensing, and data analysis have occurred in recent years, but until now there has been no book that reflects these advances while delivering a uniform treatment of the remote sensing of frozen regions. Remote Sensing of Snow and Ice identifies unifying themes and ideas in these fields and presents them in a single volume.

This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the remote sensing of the Earth's cryosphere. Explaining why cryospheric observations are important and why remote sensing observations are essential, it offers thorough surveys of the physical properties of ice and snow, and of current and emerging remote sensing techniques.

Presenting a technical review of how the properties of snow and ice relate to remote sensing observations, the book focuses on principles by which useful geophysical information becomes encoded into the electromagnetic radiation detected during the remote sensing process. The author then discusses in detail the application of remote sensing methods to snow, freshwater ice, glaciers, and icebergs. The book concludes with a summary that examines what remote sensing has revealed about the cryosphere, where major technical problems still exist, and how these problems can be addressed.

GIS Data Sources
Publisher: Wiley | ISBN: 0471355054 | edition 2000 | PDF | 208 pages | 1,39 mb

When searching for information about a particular subject today, it is easy to be overwhelmed by all the possible sources you are bound to encounter. And I am not just referring to the Internet! There are books, journals, conferences, courses, libraries, and professional knowledge and contacts that quickly provide you with more choices than you have bargained for. That can be a real problem. How do you sift through all that data out there to get the information you need? Data refers to material that is somewhat related to the subject of interest. Information refers to the elements that you really need and bother to stop and read.

In professions involving spatial data, this potential confusion is quite evident. Spatial data creation, storage, and usage have moved a long way beyond paper maps. Many professions—including core spatial-analysis fields, such as geology, cartography, and surveying, as well as other fields not immediately associated with mapping (such as environmental and urban planning, biology, transportation analysis, hydrology, and demographics)—use a tool now referred to as a geographic information system (GIS). A GIS allows you to organize and view spatial data and, more importantly, combine different spatial datasets to create new information that you did not have before.

Fuzzy Modeling with Spatial Information...

Fuzzy Modeling with Spatial Information for Geographic Problems

Frederick E.Petry, Vincent B.Robinson & Maria A.Cobb, Fuzzy Modeling with Spatial Information for Geographic Problems
Springer | ISBN: 3540237135 | 2005. | 343 p. | RARed PDF 9.21MB

This book focuses on research advances in approaches for incorporating explicit handling of uncertainty, especially by fuzzy sets, to address geographic problems.

Over the past several years interest in the use of fuzzy sets approaches has grown across a broad spectrum of fields that use spatial information to address geographic problems. Not only has there been considerable research on incorporating fuzzy sets in the geographic information systems (GIS) supporting geographic problem solving, but increasingly the uncertainties inherent in modeling geographic problems have been addressed using soft computing methods.

This book has two aims. One is to stimulate further research in both the theory and application of fuzzy sets to spatial information management and geographic problem solving. The other is to highlight the advances in research which have matured to the point that we find fuzzy modeling being used by geoscientists, computer scientists, geographers, ecologists, engineers, and others. The book includes examples of the use of fuzzy sets in representational issues such as terrain features, landscape morphology, spatial extents and approaches for spatial interpolation. A variety of applications using fuzzy sets are covered including data mining, spatial decision making, ecological simulation, and reliability in GIS.

Geographic Information Metadata for Spatial Data Infrastructures

Geographic Information Metadata for Spatial Data Infrastructures: Resources, Interoperability and Information Retrieval
by Javier Nogueras-Iso, F. Javier Zarazaga-Soria & Pedro R. Muro-Medrano
Springer | ISBN: 3540244646 | 2005. | 274 p. | RARed PDF 3.65MB

Metadata play a fundamental role in both DLs and SDIs. Commonly defined as "structured data about data" or "data which describe attributes of a resource" or, more simply, "information about data", it is an essential requirement for locating and evaluating available data. Therefore, this book focuses on the study of different metadata aspects, which contribute to a more efficient use of DLs and SDIs. The three main issues addressed are: the management of nested collections of resources, the interoperability between metadata schemas, and the integration of information retrieval techniques to the discovery services of geographic data catalogs (contributing in this way to avoid metadata content heterogeneity).

The Geographic Information (GI), also known as geo-spatial data, is the information that describes phenomena associated directly or indirectly with a location with respect to the Earth surface. Nowadays, there are available large amounts of geographic data that have been gathered (for decades) with different purposes by different institutions and companies. For instance, the geographic information is vital for decision-making and resource management in diverse areas (natural resources, facilities, cadastres, economy...), and at different levels (local, regional, national or even global) (Buehler and Mc-Kee, 1996). Furthermore, the volume of this information grows day by day thanks to important technology advances in high-resolution satellite remote sensors, Global Positioning Systems (GPS), databases and geo-processing software notwithstanding an increasing interest by individuals and institutions. Even more, it is possible to georeference complex collections of a broad range of resource types, including textual and graphic documents, digital geospatial map and imagery data, real-time acquired observations, legacy databases of tabular historical records, multimedia components such as audio and video, and scientific algorithms.

In recent years nations have made unprecedented investments in both information and the means to assemble, store, process, analyze, and disseminate it. Thousands of organizations and agencies (all levels of government, the private and non-profit sectors, and academia) throughout the world spend billions of euros each year producing and using geographic data (Somers, 1997; Groot and McLaughlin, 2000). This has been particularly enhanced by the rapid advancement in spatial data capture technologies, which has made the capture of digital spatial data a relatively quick and easy process. Additionally, it is also worthwhile mentioning the impact of the Internet in the distribution of geographic information resources. As well as other information resources, lots of geographic information resources are also available on the Internet. And in some cases it is even assumed that the own Internet is the storehouse of this information.

Online GIS and Spatial Metadata

Online GIS and Spatial Metadata

Online GIS and Spatial Metadata (Geographic Information Systems Workshop) By Terry Bossomaier, David R. Green
Publisher CRC | ISBN: 0748409548 | edition 2001 | PDF | 208 pages | 30 mb

The World Wide Web presents many new, exciting prospects for geographic information systems, but also numerous technical, practical and organizational challenges. Users no longer require specialized and expensive hardware, software and data, and they can access a GIS readily from almost anywhere, using off-the-shelf browser software. An online GIS removes the need to collate all the necessary elements in a single database. Instead it has the potential to seamlessly combine datasets that are stored on many different servers and maintained by many different organizations. However, to realize this potential it is crucial to develop appropriate standards and protocols. Such problems belong to the realm of "spatial metadata" which forms the basis of this book. The book covers the principles, techniques and standards for online GIS, including online spatial information and data warehousing. It examines the idea of metadata and outlines why it is important today, especially in the context of online information. It explains the underlying methodologies, including relevant standards, and the tools and skills needed to manage metadata. Finally, the subject is placed in the context of global GIS: putting data online; creating metadata; creating virtual data warehouses; geographical agents, and spatial data mining.

The 3D Global Spatial Model

The 3D Global Spatial Model
Foundation of the Spatial Data Infrastructure

Earl F. Burkholder, "The 3-D Global Spatial Data Model: Foundation of the Spatial Data Infrastructure"
CRC | ISBN 1420063014 | April 15, 2008 | 392 Pages | PDF | 6.2MB

Traditional methods for handling spatial data are encumbered by the assumption of separate origins for horizontal and vertical measurements. Modern measurement systems operate in a 3-D spatial environment. The 3-D Global Spatial Data Model: Foundation of the Spatial Data Infrastructure offers a new model for handling digital spatial data, the global spatial data model or GSDM.

The GSDM preserves the integrity of three-dimensional spatial data while also providing additional benefits such as simpler equations, worldwide standardization, and the ability to track spatial data accuracy with greater specificity and convenience. This groundbreaking spatial model incorporates both a functional model and a stochastic model to connect the physical world to the ECEF rectangular system.

Combining horizontal and vertical data into a single, three-dimensional database, this authoritative monograph provides a logical development of theoretical concepts and practical tools that can be used tohandle spatial data more efficiently. The book clearly describes procedures that can be used to handle both ECEF and flat-Earth rectangular components in the context of a rigorous global environment.

Uncertainty in Remote Sensing and GIS

Uncertainty in Remote Sensing and GIS
Publisher: Wiley | Pages: 326 | 2003-02-14 | ISBN 0470844086 | PDF | 5 MB


Remote sensing and geographical information science (GIS) have advanced considerably in recent years. However, the potential of remote sensing and GIS within the environmental sciences is limited by uncertainty, especially in connection with the data sets and methods used. In many studies, the issue of uncertainty has been incompletely addressed. The situation has arisen in part from a lack of appreciation of uncertainty and the problems it can cause as well as of the techniques that may be used to accommodate it.

This book provides general overviews on uncertainty in remote sensing and GIS that illustrate the range of uncertainties that may occur, in addition to describing the means of measuring uncertainty and the impacts of uncertainty on analyses and interpretations made.

Uncertainty in Remote Sensing and GIS provides readers with comprehensive coverage of this largely undocumented subject:
* Relevant to a broad variety of disciplines including geography, environmental science, electrical engineering and statistics
* Covers range of material from base overviews to specific applications
* Focuses on issues connected with uncertainty at various points along typical data analysis chains used in remote sensing and GIS

Written by an international team of researchers drawn from a variety of disciplines, Uncertainty in Remote Sensing and GIS provides focussed discussions on topics of considerable importance to a broad research and user community. The book is invaluable reading for researchers, advanced students and practitioners who want to understand the nature of uncertainty in remote sensing and GIS, its limitations and methods of accommodating it.

GIS Applications in Agriculture

GIS Applications in Agriculture

GIS Applications in Agriculture
224 pages | CRC (February 13, 2007) | ISBN: 0849375266 | PDF | 5 Mb

The increased efficiency and profitability that the proper application of technology can provide has made precision agriculture the hottest developing area within traditional agriculture. The first single-source volume to cover GIS applications in agronomy, GIS Applications in Agriculture examines ways that this powerful technology can help farmers produce a greater abundance of crops with more efficiency and at lower costs.

Each chapter describes the nature of a problem, examines the purpose and scope of a GIS application, presents the methods used to develop the application, and then goes on to provide results and offer a conclusion as well as supporting information. When appropriate, the chapters present the underlying statistical approach for the GIS software that is used. The text also includes a CD-ROM featuring data sets and color maps produced by the use of GIS.

Concentrating more on the approach and less on the specific software, the authors describe the methods used to develop an application and discuss limitations to the algorithms and the programming code used. They then summarize the application in terms of what it does, how it works, its limitations, and its potential uses. The book provides a toolkit for the acquisition, management, and analysis of spatial data throughout the agriculture value chain.

GIS for Web Developers

GIS for Web Developers: Adding 'Where' to Your Web Applications

Scott Davis, "GIS for Web Developers: Adding 'Where' to Your Web Applications"
Pragmatic Bookshelf (October 9, 2007) | ISBN: 0974514098 | 176 pages | PDF | 3,2 Mb

There is a hidden revolution going on: geography is moving from niche to the mainstream. News reports routinely include maps and satellite images. More and more pieces of equipment cell phones, cars, computers now contain Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers. Many of the major database vendors have made geographic data types standard in their flagship products.

GIS for Web Developers introduces Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in simple terms and demonstrates hands-on uses. With this book, you'll explore popular websites like maps.google.com, see the technologies they use, and learn how to create your own. Written with the usual Pragmatic Bookshelf humor and real-world experience, GIS for Web Developers makes geographic programming concepts accessible to the common developer.

This book will demystify GIS and show you how to make GIS work for you. You'll learn the buzzwords and explore ways to geographically-enable your own applications. GIS is not a fundamentally difficult domain, but there is a barrier to entry because of the industry jargon. This book will show you how to "walk the walk" and "talk the talk" of a geographer.

You'll learn how to find the vast amounts of free geographic data that's out there and how to bring it all together. Although this data is free, it's scattered across the web on a variety of different sites, in a variety of incompatible formats. You'll see how to convert it among several popular formats including plain text, ESRI Shapefiles, and Geography Markup Language (GML).

With this book in hand, you'll become a real geographic programmer using the Java programming language. You'll find plenty of working code examples in Java using some of the many GIS-oriented applications and APIs.

GIS in Land and Property Management

GIS in Land and Property Management

GIS in Land and Property Management
Taylor & Francis | 2003-12-09 | ISBN: 0415240646 | 240 pages | PDF | 6,5 MB

Economists, geographers and surveyors are beginning to recognise the powerful tool which a Geographical Information System (GIS) offers in effective property management. It provides a means of managing land and property information digitally and in a geographical context, and allows for rapid access to information and a means of analysing that information in a geographical context.

GIS in Land and Property Management shows how to use GIS, both in principle and in practice. It introduces digital mapping and GIS, along with a brief history of the development of GIS and LIS, all with an emphasis on property. In presenting the spectrum of GIS applications in property management it gives a number of case studies from a variety of market sectors, and it analyses the issues to provide guidance and a number of recommendations for the implementation of GIS. At the same time common themes and issues are drawn out to present a coherent message for students and practitioners.

Geochemical Anomaly and Mineral...

Geochemical Anomaly and Mineral Prospectivity Mapping in GIS, Volume 11

E.J.M. Carranza "Geochemical Anomaly and Mineral Prospectivity Mapping in GIS, Volume 11"
Elsevier Science | English | 2009-01-26 | ISBN: 0444513256 | 368 pages | PDF | 14 MB

The book documents and explains, in three parts, geochemical anomaly and mineral prospectivity mapping by using a geographic information system (GIS). Part I reviews and couples the concepts of (a) mapping geochemical anomalies and mineral prospectivity and (b) spatial data models, management and operations in a GIS. Part II demonstrates GIS-aided and GIS-based techniques for analysis of robust thresholds in mapping of geochemical anomalies. Part III explains GIS-aided and GIS-based techniques for spatial data analysis and geo-information sybthesis for conceptual and predictive modeling of mineral prospectivity. Because methods of geochemical anomaly mapping and mineral potential mapping are highly specialized yet diverse, the book explains only methods in which GIS plays an important role. The book avoids using language and functional organization of particular commercial GIS software, but explains, where necessary, GIS functionality and spatial data structures appropriate to problems in geochemical anomaly mapping and mineral potential mapping. Because GIS-based methods of spatial data analysis and spatial data integration are quantitative, which can be complicated to non-numerate readers, the book simplifies explanations of mathematical concepts and their applications so that the methods demonstrated would be useful to professional geoscientists, to mineral explorationists and to research students in fields that involve analysis and integration of maps or spatial datasets. The book provides adequate illustrations for more thorough explanation of the various concepts.

*explains GIS functionality and spatial datastructures appropriate regardless of particular GIS software is in use
*simplifies explanation of mathematical concepts and application
*illustrated for more thorough explanation of concepts

GIS for Environmental Decision-Making

GIS for Environmental Decision-Making
Andrew A. Lovett , Katy Appleton, "GIS for Environmental Decision-Making"
CRC | 2007 | ISBN: 0849374235 | 288 pages | PDF | 17 MB

Environmental applications have long been a core use of GIS. However, the effectiveness of GIS-based methods depends on the decision-making frameworks and contexts within which they are employed. GIS for Environmental Decision-Making takes an interdisciplinary look at the capacities of GIS to integrate, analyze, and display data on which decisions must be based. It provides a broad prospective on the current state of GIS for environmental decision-making and emphasizes the importance of matters related to data, analysis, and modeling tools, as well as stakeholder participation.

The book is divided into three sections, which effectively relate to three key aspects of the decision-making process as supported by GIS: data required, tools being developed, and aspects of participation. The first section stresses the ability to integrate data from different sources as a defining characteristic of GIS and illustrates the benefits that this can bring in the context of deriving land-use and other information. The second section discusses a range of issues concerning the use of GIS for suitability mapping and strategic planning exercises, through illustrative examples. The last section of the book focuses on the use of GIS-based techniques to facilitate public participation in decision-making processes. In particular, it provides an overview of developments in this area, concentrating on how GIS, modeling, and 3D landscape visualization techniques are gradually achieving closer integration.

Given the complex challenges presented by global environmental change, GIS for Environmental Decision-Making provides a clear illustration of how the use of GIS can make significant contributions to trans-disciplinary initiatives to address environmental problems.

GIS Applications for Water, Wastewater...

GIS Applications for Water, Wastewater, and Stormwater Systems by U.M. Shamsi



GIS Applications for Water, Wastewater, and Stormwater Systems by U.M. Shamsi
Publisher: CRC Press | January 27, 2005 | ISBN: 0849320976 | Pages: 440 | PDF | 13.54 MB

Professionals involved in the planning, design, operation, and construction of water, wastewater, and stormwater systems need to understand the productivity-enhancing applications of GIS. Inspired by an ASCE-sponsored continuing education course taught by the author, GIS Applications for Water, Wastewater, and Stormwater Systems focuses on the practical aspects of software and data tools that enable GIS applications. The book documents and analyzes effective use of GIS, demonstrating how you can apply the technology to make tasks easier to perform, saving time and money for your organization.

The book first describes GIS, detailing its importance and explaining how to avoid potential pitfalls via a needs analysis study. It then describes GIS-related technologies that are crucial in applications development: remote sensing; DEM data; GPS; Internet applications; and mobile GIS. The final ten chapters focus on the "Four Ms" of the water industry-Mapping, Monitoring, Modeling, and Maintenance-applications that define the most important activities for efficient management of water, wastewater, and stormwater systems.

Promoting a performance- (or outcome-) based style of learning, each chapter first states learning objectives and later concludes with a chapter summary and questions. The text encourages more effective and natural inductive study by first presenting case studies, then explaining procedures. This volume supplements the text with numerous maps, tables, and illustrations.

· Focuses on the practical aspects of software and data tools that enable productivity-enhancing GIS applications
· Incorporates the recommendations of ABET and ASCE's Excellence in Civil Engineering Education program
· Includes models, software, examples, and case studies derived from projects managed by the author and other GIS experts
· Discusses GIS applications useful for protecting water and wastewater systems from terrorist attacks

Historical GIS


Historical GIS is an emerging field that uses Geographical Information Systems (GIS) to research the geographies of the past. Ian Gregory and Paul Ell present the first study comprehensively to define this emerging field, exploring all aspects of using GIS in historical research. A GIS is a form of database in which every item of data is linked to a spatial location. This technology offers unparalleled opportunities to add insight and rejuvenate historical research through the ability to identify and use the geographical characteristics of data. Historical GIS introduces the basic concepts and tools underpinning GIS technology, describing and critically assessing the visualisation, analytical and e-science methodologies that it enables and examining key scholarship where GIS has been used to enhance research debates. The result is a clear agenda charting how GIS will develop as one of the most important approaches to scholarship in historical geography.

Universal Map Downloader 4.7

Universal Map Downloader 4.7


Universal Maps Downloader là một công cụ giúp bạn để có được những hình ảnh từ google maps, yahoo maps or microsoft maps. Tất cả các hình ảnh tải về sẽ được lưu trên đĩa. Bạn có thể xem tải về các bản đồ bằng Maps Viewer hoặc bạn có thể kết hợp chúng thành một bản đồ BMP lớn bằng Maps Combiner. Những hình ảnh được tải về chỉ dành cho mục đích cá nhân của bạn, không dùng cho mục đích thương mại.

Theo kinh nghiệm sử dụng của chúng tôi, nếu bạn tải bản đồ với 8 links cùng một lúc thì Google sẽ chặn IP của bạn lại vì nghi ngờ có sự "lạm dụng" dữ liệu của họ cũng như việc làm này mang biểu hiện của một cuộc tấn công từ chối dịch vụ. Bạn nên sử dụng 1 link duy nhất để tải bản đồ. Tuy cách này hơi chậm nhưng sẽ có lợi cho bạn.

Nếu bạn download từ máy chủ của Yahoo hoặc Microsoft map thì cũng nên dùng 1 link mà down. Tuy không bị cấm IP từ các site này nhưng việc dùng 1 link sẽ làm tăng khả năng download trọn vẹn bản đồ của bạn.

Google Earth Plugin

Bản đồ trực tuyến với Google Earth Plugin


Google đã rất nổi tiếng với phần mềm Google Earth cho desktop hoạt động linh hoạt và thân thiện người sử dụng. Gần đây, một động thái mới của hãng phần mềm này đã khiến nhiều người sử dụng trầm trồ khi Google tung ra ứng dụng Google Earth plugin cho trình duyệt Internet.

Nếu thể loại ứng dụng kiểu Google Earth được xếp loại "thick client" thì các plugin của chúng được liệt vào danh sách các "thin client". Những plugin này có đặc điểm chung là nhẹ, thời gian tải về nhanh và hoạt động kiểu "nhúng" trong môi trường các trình duyệt Internet. Giờ đây, người sử dụng có thể quan sát dữ liệu bằng trình duyệt Internet trên nền Google Earth mà không cần phải download bộ "thick client" về máy của mình.


Cho dù còn hạn chế nhiều tính năng so với Google Earth, plugin của ứng dụng này đã được cộng đồng các nhà phát triển phần mềm Internet và người sử dụng đón chào nhiệt liệt. Giờ đây người sử dụng có thể hiển thị bản đồ của mình (dưới dạng KML, KMZ) đặt tại một server bất kỳ lên trên nền bản đồ của Google Earth plugin. Các thao tác trên plugin về cơ bản giống với thao tác trên phần mềm Google Earth. Người sử dụng có thể xoay bản đồ của mình theo các góc khác nhau, hiển thị chúng trên nền số địa hình (DEM), hoặc kiến tạo các đường di chuyển (flight simulation) tạo hiệu ứng chuyển động rất đẹp mắt.

Các nhà phát triển phần mềm được hưởng lợi từ bộ lệnh API mà Google đã "hào phóng" chia sẻ. Rất nhiều ứng dụng bản đồ được phát triển tạo nên sự phong phú về mặt thể hiện của các dạng dữ liệu GIS.

Một cách tổng quát, Google Earth có những ưu điểm sau:
  • Chạy trên nền một trình duyệt Internet, do đó tính tương thích với các hệ điều hành là rất cao.
  • Hiển thị bản đồ đẹp, nhanh, thao tác đơn giản, thân thiện.
  • Cho phép hiển thị 3D và sử dụng bộ ảnh nền độ phân giải cao của Google.
  • Cho phép lập trình điều khiển ứng dụng.
  • Có khả năng tùy biến về giao diện và dữ liệu rất cao.
  • Cho phép liên kết với nhiều server bản đồ khác nhau, nhờ đó phát huy tối đa sức mạnh của hệ thống cơ sở dữ liệu phân tán, đồng thời hạn chế sự nghẽn mạch khi số lượng người sử dụng truy nhập vào website tăng vọt.
Bạn có thể truy nhập vào địa chỉ sau để tham khảo các ví dụ của Google Earth plugin:

Top ten GPS for December 2008

GPS Tracklog đăng tổng kết danh mục topten cho các sản phẩm GPS ô tô và GPS cầm tay được người tiêu dùng ưa chuộng nhất trong tháng 12 năm 2008.

  1. Garmin nuvi 760
  2. TomTom ONE 125
  3. Garmin nuvi 255W
  4. Garmin nuvi 260W
  5. Garmin nuvi 265WT
  6. Garmin nuvi 350
  7. Garmin nuvi 270
  8. Garmin nuvi 750
  9. Garmin nuvi 205
  10. Garmin nuvi 205W
Và đây là danh mục topten GPS cầm tay:
  1. Garmin Forerunner 305
  2. Garmin eTrex Venture HC
  3. Garmin eTrex Vista HCx
  4. Garmin GPSMap 60CSx
  5. Garmin Forerunner 405
  6. Garmin eTrex Legend HCx
  7. GolfLogix GPS
  8. DeLorme PN-20
  9. Garmin eTrex H
  10. DeLorme PN-40
Our December rankings are in, with few surprises. There are a couple of notable, albeit pricey, absences from the lists though — the nuvi 7×5T series and the Garmin Oregon handheld — which probably says more about the state of the economy than the desire for high-end toys.

Also note that despite the strong showing of the aggressively priced TomTom ONE 125, Garmin pulled off a near sweep of the auto top ten. On the handheld side, it’s worth pointing out that DeLorme is now the only company out there really challenging Garmin’s dominance in this category.

Like last time, this month’s figures are based on how many GPS units have been sold by our partners (Amazon, etc.) via GPS Tracklog and GPS Deals. As a result, the figures are heavily influenced by promotional offerings during the month.
