Geoinformation: Remote Sensing, Photogrammetry and Geographic Information Systems, Second Edition

CRC Press, 2002

Surveying and mapping has recently undergone a transition from discipline-oriented technologies, such as geodesy, surveying, photogrammetry and cartography, to the methodology-oriented integrated discipline of geoinformatics based on GPS positioning, remote sensing, digital photography for data acquisition, and GIS for data manipulation and data...

Basic GIS Coordinates, Second Edition

CRC Press, 2010

Coordinates are the foundation of GIS, cartography, and surveying, to name just a few fields. Computers have an astounding capacity for repetition and they possess a superior ability to handle the mathematics behind coordinate manipulation—but they are very bad at interpreting coordinates and coordinate systems.

Basic...
