Books in the ISPRS Book Series series

Spatio-temporal analysis embodies spatial modelling, spatio-temporal modelling and spatial reasoning and data mining. This book contributes to the field of spatio-temporal analysis, presenting ideas and examples that reflect progress and achievements.

A collection of peer-reviewed articles presented at the ISPRS Workshop on Spatial Analysis and Decision Making. It also covers topics such as image-based spatial analysis and decision making, as well as 3-D modelling and analysis.

Part of the ISPRS Series, this key volume for remote sensing specialists and photogrammetrists details current calibration procedures, the latest 'best practices', and promotes the development of coherent, high quality Earth observation imagery.

Mobile mapping refers to a means of collecting geospatial data using mapping sensors mounted on a mobile platform. This book addresses a variety of research issues in the mobile mapping community, ranging from system development to sensor integration, imaging algorithms and mobile GIS applications.

Covering photogrammetry, remote sensing, and spatial information sciences, this book is divided into six parts: Introduction; Sensors, Platforms and Data Acquisition Systems; Data Processing and Analysis; Data Modelling, Management and Visualisation; Applications; and, Education and Cooperation.

Covers distributed spatial infrastructure, image-based geospatial information management, indexing and querying geospatial databases, and ontology and semantics for geospatial data. This volume offers contributions from leading experts in spatial information modeling, image processing and analysis, database management, ontologies and data mining.

A detailed look at the field of web-based GIS and mapping services and applications, this book reviews current progress and achievements, while looking forward to future developments. It addresses issues involved in constant updating of related web and geospatial technologies as well as the revolution of web mapping caused by mainstream IT vendors. The book includes coverage of increased interest in geo-spatial information technologies and increasing demand for prompt and effective spatial information services, and highlights applications in business, government services, enterprise computing, and social networking.

Introduces original research and new developments in the areas of planetary remote sensing, photogrammetry, mapping, GIS, and planetary science resulting from the recent space exploration missions. This book will serve scientists and professionals working in planetary remote sensing/mapping, engineers, and planetary geologists and geophysicists.

This book provides an overview on the evolution of laser scanning technology and its noticeable impact in the structural engineering domain. This cutting-edge edited volume is a valuable resource for students, researchers and professional engineers with an interest in laser scanning and its applications in the structural engineering domain.
