Description
A comprehensive study of a revolutionary information gathering system with applications in fields as diverse as forestry and urban development. Addressing both the emerging technologies for gathering such data and its many applications, the book discusses the basic problems inherent in transforming satellite data into a precise geographic reference system (geocoding) and goes on to review the useful geographic information that can be derived from such geocoded information.
