Broad yet thorough treatment of GIS techniques and issues.......2007-05-20

The focus of this book is on the concepts and techniques needed by GIS professionals. Thus, this book stands out for its intentional focus on professional education. The reader should be proficient in geometry, algebra and trigonometry and also have some background in computer science and geography. While this book deals with the range of topics normally included in introductory GIS courses, coverage of many subjects is deep enough for the advanced reader. The authors definitely had a problem trying to place the many interconnected topics of GIS into a linear sequence of chapters. Thus, there are many times where a topic is briefly introduced in one chapter only to have it reappear in greater depth in some subsequent chapter.

Sometimes, the connection between the original introduction and the later details is not clear. For example, in Chapter 2, surveying gets a much more thorough treatment than photogrammetry. However, in chapter 8, six chapters later, photogrammetry reappears as a topic and is covered in tremendous detail. The references at the end of each chapter are very good and are usually in sources that should be accessible to most readers. Once past the simple scale and map theme topics, students face their first mathematical challenge in meaty sections on planar coordinate transformations, projections, geodetic datums, UTM, state plane systems and even a brief introduction to land surveying and GPS . This demonstrates that the authors decided not to shy away from the difficult details of GIS. This would make a good textbook in an upper undergraduate class as well as a good professional reference. Since the table of contents is not shown, I do that next:

1. INTRODUCTION - This chapter explains the context for studying GIS in both the academic and professional settings.

2. MAPS AND GEOSPATIAL DATA - This chapter explains the relationship between maps and GIS.

3. DIGITAL REPRESENTATION AND ORGANIZATION OF GEOSPATIAL DATA - Explains the concepts and techniques of representing geographic data in digital form using different data models. Includes a quick reference to important geographical foundations such as Berry's geographic matrix, then introduces the concepts of objects and fields and rasters and vectors. This chapter also includes a useful section on representing temporal relationships and a good level of detail on object-oriented data models and database systems.

4. GEOSPATIAL DATA QUALITY AND STANDARDS - Defines the basic concepts and terminology commonly used for the description and evaluation of data quality with special reference to GIS. Includes an introduction to spatial autocorrelation and error propagation covered in much greater detail later in the book. Interoperability and OGC get one page here and one more page later in Chapter 12. Finally the chapter includes an extensive section on data standards both in the US and elsewhere.

5. RASTER GEOPROCESSING - Includes rasterfile formats and various topics related to acquiring raster data such as rectification, registration and mosaicing. Brief reference is made to various ways in which raster operations might be categorized. Then the local, neighborhood, extended neighborhood and regional classification system is used to explore the range of operations. Logical overlay operations are thoroughly covered. The determination of slope is also covered here under extended neighborhood operations. Map algebra and cartographic modeling are discussed later in the chapter along with some worked examples.

6. VECTOR GEOPROCESSING - Covers a variety of vector topics including digitizing, scanning, editing, topology building, attribute data conversion, address geocoding, a selection of basic vector operations such as buffering and topological overlay, and a good introduction to network analysis, picked up in much greater detail in Chapter 10.

7. GEOVISUALIZATION AND GEOSPATIAL INFORMATION PRODUCTS - An eclectic mix that covers GIS as information communication channel, human-computer interaction and user interfaces, scientific visualization, 3D, animation, web cams, hypermaps, digital spatial libraries, and how CRTs work.

8. REMOTE SENSING AND GIS INTEGRATION - Deep coverage on such topics as orthophotography production, thermal infrared energy equations, radar imaging theory, photogrammetric considerations of satellite imaging systems, and image classifiers.

9. DIGITAL TERRAIN MODELING - Deep coverage of a range of topics including sampling terrain data, geometric characteristics of DEMs, construction of TINs (including their topological datastructure), more on GPS, stereoplotter operation, sources and quality of existing DEMdata, extraction of topographic features, viewshed analysis, terrain visualization (including tables summarizing various software packages for terrain modeling). It also includes brief coverage of interpolation, surface fitting and trend surface analysis.

10. SPATIAL ANALYSIS, MODELING, AND MINING - Examines spatial analysis at a higher level than the simple map data manipulation of chapters 5 and 6. Good coverage of advanced topics include spatial autocorrelation indices, quadrat counts, nearest-neighbor analysis, gravity models and network analysis. A few detailed examples of integrating GIS with mathematical models concludes the chapter.

11. GIS IMPLEMENTATION AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT - Thorough coverage of important topics such as the value of a software engineering approach, stages of GIS project planning, system analysis, database design methodology (including several pages on E-R modeling, logical schema and normalization), application software design, system implementation and maintenance.

12. GIS ISSUES AND PROSPECTS - Overview of the key issues facing GIS users today. It also examines the emerging concepts and techniques that are rapidly changing the nature of using geographic information.

Book Description

Key Concepts and Techniques in GIS is a concise overview of the fundamental ideas that inform Geographic Information Science. It provides detailed descriptions of the concepts and techniques that anyone using GIS software must fully understand to analyze spatial data.

Short and clearly focused chapters provide explanations of:

Spatial relationships and spatial data
The creation of digital data, the use and access of existing data, and the combination of data
The use of modeling techniques and the essential functions of map algebra
Spatial statistics and spatial analysis
Geocomputation – including discussion of neural networks, cellular automata, and agent-based modeling

Illustrated throughout with explanatory figures, the text also includes a glossary, cross referenced to discussion in the text. Written very much from a user’s perspective, Key Concepts and Techniques in GIS is highly readable "refresher course" for intermediate level students and practitioners of GIS in the social and the natural sciences.

Book Description

A practical, hands-on guidebook for the efficient modeling of VCSELs
Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers (VCSELs) are a unique type of semiconductor laser whose optical output is vertically emitted from the surface as opposed to conventional edge-emitting semiconductor lasers. Complex in design and expensive to produce, VCSELs nevertheless represent an already widely used laser technology that promises to have even more significant applications in the future. Although the research has accelerated, there have been relatively few books written on this important topic.
Analysis and Design of Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers seeks to encapsulate this growing body of knowledge into a single, comprehensive reference that will be of equal value for both professionals and academics in the field. The author, a recognized expert in the field of VCSELs, attempts to clarify often conflicting assumptions in order to help readers achieve the simplest and most efficient VCSEL models for any given problem.
Highlights of the text include:
* A clear and comprehensive theoretical treatment of VCSELs
* Detailed derivations for understanding the operational principles of VCSELs
* Mathematical models for the investigation of electrical, optical, and thermal properties of VCSELs
* Case studies on the mathematical modeling of VCSELs and the implementation of simulation programs

Book Description

I am busy with the hawkweeds; that is to say, I am learning to distinguish and to name as many as I can. For scientific classification I have little mind; it does not happen to fall in with my habits of thought; but I like to be able to give its name (the "trivial" by choice) to every flower I meet in my walks. Why should I be content to say, "Oh, it's a hawkweed"?
