Remote Sensing in Archaeology
Whether deployed in space or on the surface of the earth, remote
sensing instruments are increasingly becoming standard archaeological
tools. Space age techniques have begun to accumulate a wealth of
information and unusual evidence such as the presence of sand-buried
courses of ancient rivers in the Sahara and the associated remains of
human occupations. Perhaps as important, some have been able to gather
priceless knowledge without disturbing fragile sites, a capability that
is particularly significant in this era of conservation. From Springer,
2007.
Spatial Data Modelling for 3D GIS
This book covers fundamental aspects of spatial data modelling
specifically on the aspect of three-dimensional (3D) modelling and
structuring. Realisation of true 3D GIS spatial system needs a lot of
efforts, and the process is taking place in various research centres
and universities in some countries. The development of spatial data
modelling for 3D objects is the focus of this book. The book begins
with some problems and motivations, the fundamental theories, the
implementation, and some applications developed based on the concepts.
The book is intended for various geoinformation related professionals
like GIS engineers, GIS software developers, photogrammetrists, land
surveyors, mapping specialists, researchers, postgraduate students, and
lecturers. From Springer, 2007.
Installation Mapping Enables Many Missions:
The Benefits of and Barriers to Sharing Geospatial Data Assets
This report assesses the effect of sharing installations and
environment geospatial data assets across the Department of Defense
Global Information Grid. The authors found that the assets support a
wide range of missions from installation management to warfighting
support. The authors also identified barriers to sharing, recommended
ways to maximize the sharing benefits, and developed a methodology for
assessing the effects of sharing. From RAND Corporation,
2007.
