内容説明

Geographic Information Analyses presents the spatial analytical foundation of geographic information systems which are instrumental to the emergent study of GIScience. This book covers spatial concepts such as points, lines, areas and surfaces, and analytical techniques such as projection, nearest neighbor, fractals, triangulation, and geostatistics.
